a promise broken
(like the bouquet of a rose,
as sweet as sugar,
veiling the sting of the thorn)
leaves a bitter bite

Inspiration for today’s tanka comes from Ronovan Writes and Sue’s Photo Prompt.
Sorry to Sue for taking her beautiful photo to a bit of a dark place, but that’s where the combo of sugar and bitter and roses led me!

wisdom blossoming
from an open heart and mind
carries love not hate

MADNESS TAKES ITS TOLL
LIKE THE CLOUDS BEFORE THE DAWN
DANCING WITH THE LIGHT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks to Fandago’s Word Prompt (madness) for taking my mind to one of my favorite shows of all time. And thanks to Sue’s Photo Prompt for the added inspiration. Originally my brain took the “madness takes its toll” idea to a DARK place, but Sue’s photo brought me back to the light.
And as a reminder …

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.
