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.

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.
i used to go out
always
carrying my faithful companions
a journal, a camera and freedom
registering moments
as if they would disappeared
at any second
thoughts, images and details
now
the journals are piled up
in a corner of my closet
the photos are resting in a shoe box
and the memories are fading
i am alone

Enter at your own risk
You can find pleasure
You can find sorrow
It depends on your mindset
Enter at your own risk
The forest freshness
Can bring relief
But can also aggravate your feelings
Enter at your own risk
Each step counts
To be happy again or
To sustain the distress
Enter at your own risk
It’s up to you!
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?
winter darkness
gifts us with short days and long nights
winter darkness
an explosion of vast kindness
luminous as the northern lights
brings us joy and lights up our sights
winter darkness
Joining W3 – Rondelet poem
Pause
Breathe in
And breathe out
Blank pages wait
symphony of dreams
giving form to the notes
your faithful treasured freedom
jotting down the impossible
Smoothly guiding the pen through the lines
"Pause, breathe in and breathe out, blank pages wait"
Joining David’s W3 prompt:
Bonded together through the roots
Outwards distinct reflections
No men power can untie them
Devoted bonds are forever
