Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

The Luck of a New Year

Tina Stewart Brakebill

Singularity
Expanding in space and time
As day dawns again

As day dawn again
Spinning ‘round the milky way
A new year is born

A new year is born
As space and time expanded
Singular no more

This cascading style haiku was inspired by Heeding Haiku’s Challenge to write a haiku incorporating the idea of good luck and by Sue’s Photo Prompt.

Seeing Sue’s picture made me think of our good luck that the Big Bang (AKA theory of singularity) gave us this beautiful world as well as the space and time we live in.

Here’s hoping we do a better job of stewardship in the coming year.

Thanks to Sue for her Photo Prompt. It inspired thoughts of our lives lived through time and what that means as we age. That thought connected in my mind with this great phrase–deep down in the dungeon–from Putting My Feet in the Dirt. And the haiku was born.

Thanks for reading and be sure to visit their sites for more info and some more fabulous work.

Flash Fiction, tutto e niente

Floating

Tina Stewart Brakebill

Lucy stared at the board. Letting her mind drift back to childhood. Chin resting on the table. Watching her grandfather play. Try too hard and it went fuzzy. Like a picture with the autofocus off. But if she just let her brain float sometimes she could recapture that moment of joy. When it all made sense. When it was fun. Before. Before she was a novelty. Before she was girl genius. Intellectual heir to Hawking. Right down to the chair. But today it remained fuzzy. The timer ticked. Counting. Days. Weeks. Months. Years. She stared at the board. Floating.
