always keep going
maybe left or maybe right
you'll reach point zero
tanka tuesday – theme prompt: maps

time imposes the cure or despair waiting to be healed or broken departures and arrivals the distance hurts the soul going and coming at each far end a lone heart reckons time
a photo prompt for today’s tanka tuesday. i’ve chosen a nonet to go with this pretty image.

singular brightness
longing for the distant past
dreams of forgiveness
the answers bloom like flowers
in the forsaken journey
the prompt for tankatuesday this week is poet’s choice and since it’s full moon, my obvious choice is a poem about the full moon! hope you enjoy this tanka!

a blink of an eye memories of happiness the truth and the lies surrounded by the branches whispering between the lines
Tanka Tuesday: Theme prompt – “Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth.” Herman Hesse

Hello, it’s already Thursday and today’s post is 3 into 1! Instead of loading your inbox and your reader with 3 posts, I decided to combine all of them here. Hope you enjoy it!
The photo is for Square perspective,
the quote for Nurturing Thursday,
and below is my Etheree for Tanka Tuesday, this week poet’s choice.
flow grounding scattered thoughts on earth magic inconsistency the deep need for a change breathing in and breathing out a few droplets of lavender on my pillow under the bright moon craving the energy for acceptance
Wishing a lovely day to you!

Standing still, untouched
Summer breeze bathing softness
Confidence rises
Simplicity is the key
Joy of plenty contentment
Today’s challenge is poet’s choice of words: I’ve chosen Confidence and Joy

blue immensity
from the skies to the oceans
you have all my heart
wondering what is hidden
beyond treasures and despair
it’s time for tanka tuesday, our own choice of words, for today i’ve chosen heart and despair.
i took this photo last week, the sky was so blue, no clouds around. i was waiting outdoors for my son to give me a ride and i was wondering what is beyond all this blue. not about the universe, planets, atmosphere and stuff, but about the mystery, the magic, what is there that we can’t see?
i wasn’t sure if it is appropriate to make a haiga using a tanka, instead a haiku, but i had more words and it wouldn’t fit as haiku, they needed to be written.
hope you have a great day!
