Cinquain: Ghosts and Haunt

100917_1923_colleenswee7

Fisrt time I’m trying a Cinquain, hope to get it right!

Ancestors

Ghost’s silence

Bones, particles, air

Spaciousness haunting my thoughts

Magnificent

Joining Colleen’s Weekly Poetry Challenge.

Haiku: heart and need


The wildness’ heart beats

Persuades my hollow being

The needs of goddess

Joining Ron’s haiku challenge.

Green moss on my feet
Dawn droplets wetting my hair
Silence in the air

Tanka: Mist and Shape

Joining another poetry challenge, this time is Collen’s: this week Mist and Shape. I’ve taken this photo from the moon shining through my bedroom window, so why not a poem dedicated to her.

sparking without shape
moon mist covers my body
in a mystic night
i open my dreaming eyes
only travelling in space

Soft laces and silk
Fly me back to the far past
Away from my skin

be bold and brave

travel the road less travelled

be the wild-self

that is hidden

deep inside yourself
