Tanka Tuesday :: lightness
crisp air baths my skin
lady spring dressed in lightness
refreshes my body
at the end of a long day
the breeze brings dreams full of hope
WDYS :: recipe
it's easy to say
not so easy to do
advice, everybody has one
but the recipe is a secret
nobody knows where it is
free your mind
i imagine, it will need
2 cups of forgiveness
2 cups of compassion
1 cup of kindness
1 teaspoon of joy
mix everything together
bake for 1/2 hr at 375 F
oh, i forgot the most
important, the baking powder
for this recipe it'd be self-love
without it
no mind will be free

W3 :: a cup of tea
the black tea passion
first pleasure in the mornings
hot water and leaves
-the mindfulness is the key-
the early morning rush
enemy of the pleasure
hurry, leave the tea
W3 – Puente poem, first time trying it! I wrote a Senryu poem for the 1st and 3rd stanzas and a mantra I always keep in mind for the 2nd stanza. Hope you enjoy it!
Tanka Tuesday :: droplets of hope
in the depth winter
my mind wonders in darkness
short days and long nights
the full moon is the witness
i look for the hidden hope
i search for droplets of spring
W3 :: Winter blues
Walking along by the river
I spotted this light pole
Standing still, strong
Undisturbed by the snowstorm
Nobody, nothing can break its peace
I took my gloves off and snapped a photo
To take back home
Just as a reminder
The Winter blues are here
Disturbing inner peace
Hold on tight to yourself

Haibun :: new beginnings
A glass of wine, a yarn, and little by little layers are born. The waiting and expectation are building up as I look through the window. A new year is approaching!
snowdrops at midnight
welcoming new beginnings
shining as diamonds

W3 :: beams of light
look
up in the sky
hope is there
between the beams of light
darkness retreats
room for joy
make space in your being
never leave for tomorrow
the opportunity is here and now
the opportunity is here and now
never leave for tomorrow
make space in your being
room for joy
darkness retreats
between the beams of light
hope is there
up in the sky
look

If you want an extra challenge, try writing your poem in exactly eight or twelve lines.
Moonwashed :: becalmed
a blank canvas
tubes of painting
resting on the shelves
winds of inspiration
blowing in another direction
becalmed
looking for creativity
far away on the horizon
unreachable
