Bounds keep us grounded, and the freedom out of our hands. Is it worth it to blindly choose a path to freedom? Stability battles against feelings, destroying the ancestral foundations to create infinite space between past and present.

I had fun writing this poem for W3 challenge this week. I’ve never heard of this poetry form before. Blitz poem! See the guidelines below.
Carol Anne’s prompt guidelines
This week’s challenge is to write a blitz poem! Here’s how it works:
It sounds like a lot of rules, but once you get the hang of the rhythm it’s fun and fast-flowing!
For this week’s theme, allow your flow of writing to be guided by whatever you associate with the transition from summer to fall. Let the images and connections reflect that seasonal shift, even as the poem races forward with its own momentum.
walking in the fall
an impromptus work leave
a right turn wasn’t right
reaching the ground, a scraped knee
a fall which left me disturbed
Tanka Tuesday’s host this week is Yvette; her prompt is to ‘have fun with words that have multiple meanings. I’ve chosen fall, leave and right for my tanka.
daughter, sister, wife, mother, friend, worker
multiple duties, tasks and pleasures
always needed, never in need
limited recognition
consuming winter blues
as the blue colour
a breath of peace
splitting care
woman

flow
with joy
time will tell
the right moment
not a second more
and not a second less
listen, your intuition
sailing in turbulent waters
let go of the grip, breathe in and out
sparkling water will show the direction
Joining the W3 prompt this week with an Etheree poem.
Choose a word from The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows and make it the title of your poem. Your poem should either use the word directly or capture the essence of its meaning. Include a direct link to the word’s page so readers can explore its definition and origin. Write in any poetic form you wish.
I’ve chosen JUSTING, check the meaning here.
in your hands, please hold it tight
believe your mind will take flight
the love exhales discover
allows your senses to hover
Could you guess the subject in this poem?
Sixty-four
A number, a message,
Since the start
A breath and wisdom
Unexpectedly
Showing up, erasing the darkness
Harmony and peace
Self-determination
Number of squares in a chessboard
For the game players
Number of nucleotides in the genome
For the scientists
Some say it’s God’s number
Since the Tower of Babel
To I Ching
Present in many mystical things
Bringing light to the unknown
The W3 prompt this week is by Sheila
The number 64 has always been special to me. When I saw Sheila asked for a poem with 64 words I decided to write about the number 64 per si.
This number is present in many natural, mystical and scientific fields. I’ve pointed out some of them in my poem. Hope you enjoy it!
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!
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
