The wind brushing my face and body
The minute before and after
Washing over my being
Escaping from my hands
Unanswered questions
Gifts of closure
Emptiness
Silence
Lone
Joining Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday: I’ve chosen Being and Questions for this Nonet.
A simple flapping
The pure essence of freedom
Showing us the path
Hello you!
I had a few weeks of vacation, I went to the beach and enjoy each moment of each. I was surprised when I got home and saw how my garden was blooming, flowers and butterflies everywhere. It’s nice to be back and to see that I don’t need to travel far to have beauty around me. But, of course, I could do with few weeks at the beach every couple of weeks 🙂
Joining Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday, today words are Nature and Clean, synonyms only, so I used Essence and Simple in a Haiga (Haiku + Photo).
Standing still, untouched
Summer breeze bathing softness
Confidence rises
Simplicity is the key
Joy of plenty contentment
Today’s challenge is poet’s choice of words: I’ve chosen Confidence and Joy
my full awareness
a walk between the roses
transforming my day
The words for today are: Influence and Perception, synonyms only, so I go with: transforming and awareness for Colleen’s poetry challenge.
spinning emotions
harmonizing my movements
obsessed with the tracks
the scratches being buffed out
only pleasure and lightness
This week words for tanka tuesday are hobby and play, synonyms only, so i go with obsessed and pleasure.
happy first day of spring! it’s a good day to reflect on what matters, what we should keep up with, and what we should let go.
my friend Gina, singledust, is hosting a poetry challenge this week at dVerse, i couldn’t resist the topic, so i’m joining in!
“I am hosting Poetics this week contemplating the Tanpura Principle in writing. Do you have a poetic hum in the background of your life that inspires your writing? How does your non-creative life affect your writing process? Tell us in a poem this week at dverse!“
balance
not sure how I got here
influenced by others
of course
the vanity of having a Ph.D. degree
to understand the nature of beings
to find the cure
meetings and people
competitions and deadlines
hiding my feelings and not showing
weakness
perfection in each moment
Stop, breath and listen
looking for freedom
I isolate myself
solitude and silence
writing outside the lines
messing up
letting my feelings explode
between colours and paper clips
to find a balance
to breathe my true-self
next day I’ll be ready
a smile on my face
a word of encouragement
a surprise of a new result
observing the miracle
inside a cell
keeping my words and feelings
for later on
when they will lay down
on a piece of paper
whistling the good news
bouncing high from branch to branch
the dreams are dawning
sharing with tanka tuesday – spring and sing, synonyms only! i used bouncing and whistling in a haiga!
this week was a kind of should or shouldn’t, what if……. i felt disconnected of my true-self, i let people and circumstances take control of my wishes. my intuition was guiding me to one side and i went to another.
right now i have snow flakes dancing in front of me, my cup of coffee and it’s time to reset.
the words for tanka tuesday this week are follow and lead, synonyms only! I’ve chosen pursue and clues, added them together in a double etheree. hope you enjoy and have a great weekend!
hope
evolve
breath, focus
intuition
moments and people
the message comes in clues
learn the rule of soul knowledge
shows up in mysterious ways
nothing should be able to steal it
it isn’t always clear at the moment
joy
is whole,
consciousness,
the commitment
authentically
an empowered person
pursue it without limits
and keep your senses synchronized
confirming that you are in peace now
letting go of any expectation
an inner child is playing and waiting
the wonder of possibilities
joyfully new beginners, dreams
the innocent side of youth
is plenty at the view
there is emptiness
to be filled, joy
until when
the time
flows
Sharing with Tanka Tuesday – poets choice of words: I’ve chosen child and joy and the form is Etheree.
