Abundance of spring Letting go of the self-doubt Bringing dreams afloat
Afloat :: Haiku
Tag: Poetry
The day after :: Etheree
Past Present The plain truth Moment between Waiting for a sign Tears turned out diamonds In the middle of the fog She knows, the mirror does not lie Scars are embroidered into laces The exhausting cries now sound like a valse
I’ve chosen the theme for this week’s Tanka Tuesday Challenge: The day after. With many things going on in this world right now, that I thought we should look ahead a little bit and maybe see some light.
Dimension, Gogyoka
This week Tanka Tuesday challenge’s prompt is a photo prompt. I soon as I saw this photo I had the feeling of isolation, being lost in the middle of the forest. When I looked closer at it, I saw the girl had a certain contentment in her expression, it’s like she had chosen to be there, she was fine and protected by the tree in the background.
Carried away to another dimension Leaving behind all the struggling and oppression She is free and protected now Breathing deeply and staring ahead Solitude won't be dreaded
Lavender :: Tanka
Wondering about The desire for spring freshness She graceful designs A lavender-scented room Letting go of the sorrow
The words for this week Colleen’s poetry challenge are Idea and Fancy, synonyms only! I’ve chosen Design and Desire.
Revelation #Haiga
This week Colleen’s Poetry challenge is Poet’s choice.
You know how much I love photography, it’s a form of expression for me. I try to show my feeling through my clicks. The same in relation to writing poems. I love it when I can put both together: photography and poems.
I took this photo few weeks ago. Hubby and I were strolling by a lake nearby and we saw this gorgeous swan in another side of the lake, they never came close before, so we didn’t expect when he/she started to swim towards us. It was a lovely surprise! We were so happy, like kids when receiving a new toy. We took photos and recorded this gorgeous bird. We really enjoyed that moment.
Hope you like the photo and the poem.
Entrapped # Butterfly cinquain
Twilight Stopping each breath The shadows of her thought Reflected by the candlelight Helpless A stolen moment of self-truth Growing dense in her veins Hunting her soul Entrapped
The night sky #Gogyoka
Unlocking the door Feeling the scent of the night They remembered everything Seduced by the stars Drifting towards love
The night sky is the theme for this week’s poetry challenge. I’m sure everybody is dreaming of unlocking the doors! Let’s hold on tight and stay indoors for a while. Soon we will be allowed to open the doors and breathe the freshness of a new day/night.
Secret #Tanka
The ragged surface Scarcely shinning upriver Under the moonlight An enheartening secret For all her eternity
The words for this week are Comfort and Worn, synonyms only! I’ve chosen Enheartening and Ragged, and of course the full moon had to be part of the poem! Have you seen how gorgeous the full moon is shinning this month?
Embroidered #Gogyoka
Looking beyond embroidered branches Opportunities to fleet in the vastness Gasping breaths and insecurities Pondering the consequences Surrounded by doubts
Just a poem #2
Beauty is the Garden Scent of Roses, Murmuring Water Flowing gently... Can words describe the indescribable? Rumi
