This week Colleen’s 2 words are STARK & TRAP, but we need to use synonyms in our poem.
you hold my body
listening to your crisp laugh
my mind goes away
beyond these unfriendly walls
to be uncaged faraway
Hope you like it!
Tag: Poetry
one-way
Is there only one-way?
I don’t think so,
there are many ways and detours
the question is:
Did you choose the right way?
Haven
what are you searching?
not sure, maybe a haven
faraway from you!
Sludge: first snow fall
Yesterday we had our first snowfall for this season, so lovely to watch the snowflakes reaching the ground. Of course, the first snowfall and the first week of snow are magical, but as the time goes by it becomes very difficult to accept the heavy snow that accumulates on the streets and sidewalks. Here is an acrostic poem for you.
Snow
Lovely and magical
Unbelievable the softness and design
Demanding all the attention to drive and walk
Gear up and go out
Enjoy the outdoors before the sludge shows up
Atmospheric :: Flowers
Last flowers from this year
they were charming my garden
now they sit here
in the crystal vase from my mother’s wedding
a gift older to the new couple
now a treasure to me
their fragrance takes me back to the past
to memories worth to keep, to joy and beauty.

If I was walking in the forest
and found a magical portal
For sure I’d love to go back to the past
Not so sure if I’d like to know the future
But the past, yes, of course!
Not only to look at it but to change it
But how to change it
if at that time
I did what I thought to be right
And I didn’t know better
Would I be the same today
If the past wasn’t the same
Maybe it’s best
to leave the past there
Bye bye magical portal
I don’t need you
Joining Sue’s writephoto challenge
And you? If you come across a magical portal, would you go in?
Cinquain: Eerie & Costume
I’m really having fun with poetry forms. Here is a cinquain for Colleen’s Challenge.
Witch
Magical, eerie
Flying with stars
Costume masking powerful desires
Enchantress
Writephoto::spur
Upon the darkened road
She is leading me
Between reality and illusions
Shadows and movement
We can’t look back
To the whispers of the past
Joining Sue’s Thursday photo prompt – Spur
Haibun: Quiet & Space
I’m proud of myself because my Cinquain from last week, you can read here, gave me the title of Poet of Week. Today I’m trying another form of poem: Haibun
Wild space
I stand in wonder
Trust and learning
In the middle of the night
Listening to the quiet of my intuition
Untouchable
Joining Colleen’s Weekly Poetry Challenge.
writephoto – Tower
I love to let my mind wonder on an image, so here is my entry for Sue’s photo challenge.
I will build a tower
Dreaming of flight
Rooftop gardens
Green cliffs
Walking all the way up, seeking
Pathway of possibilities
Beyond a horizon
A sparkling lake
Beauty emerged
