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

Haibun: Quiet & Space

100917_1923_colleenswee7

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

writephoto – Tower

Photo credit – Sue Vincent

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

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

Haiku: heart and need


The wildness’ heart beats

Persuades my hollow being

The needs of goddess

Haiku: Forest

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

Haiku: Silk & Skin

It is good to be blogging again, I really missed the challenges. I’m jumping right away in Ron’ s Haiku challenge. This week  ‘silk and skin’.

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

travel the road less travelled

that is hidden

deep inside yourself
