Haiku & Other Poetry, Random Rants, tutto e niente

Humpty Dumpty Had a Great Fall

I must vent, he roared.

Cracking open the window,  

he cried as he fell:

What about the price of eggs!

Now, he’s the one cracked open.   

Today’s three words for pensitivity’s challenge are:
UPLIFT
VENT
WINDOW

Sadly, I could find no uplift. Maybe tomorrow.

Ballad of an Early Voter

nervous, feeling fear

touch the screen, colour the box

still the noise bangs on    

“I don’t care, do you”? “Trust me!”

comfort your fear, use your spark

For this week’s Wordle Challenge, I managed to create a clumsy tanka that touched on my fear and use all the words: fear, noise, bang, colour, spark, use, touch, care, comfort, trust, feeling, nervous.

undone

reaching for triumph      

a quiver reveals the way

filters omitted 

undone by a single sigh

cracking the moment open

Inspired by FOWC of OMIT

Also inspired by a mistake! I somehow managed to get the wrong word list for this week’s Wordle but I used all but one word (!) so I’m sharing it anyway 😉

Triumph, Reveal, Way, Quiver, Sigh, Moment, Cracking, Expansive, Filter, Undone, Reach
