WDYS – hollow

So I heard
She is old, not worth our time
The storm has broken some of her branches

So I heard
She still has bright leaves
Her shade is kind

So I heard
Birds and squirrels make their home in there
The kids have their swing on her branches

So I heard
The electrical cables will be damage
She can’t hold another storm

So I heard
She is hollow
No more flowers and fruits

So I decided
My aged and deformed hands
Will strongly ground to the Earth

I’ll show my power
And my will
I’ll survive the next storm

Recently, we had a heavy storm with tornados touching down near by. Many trees branches broken, and full trees came down destroying houses, cutting electrical cables …, lots of damage. A few days later the city workers came by and cut many trees, the damaged ones and also some healthy ones. This made me so upset. Now we see the left over from their trunks, some indeed were hollow inside, but others had a strong core. I don’t know much about trees’ health, but it should have a way to check if the tree is doing well or not before cut them off.

WDYS :: maybe

In a future soon to be the past
Magical tea pots will serve you 
Hibiscus tea for sure
My favorite in the present
Maybe not in the future
And for sure not in the past
While a kid I dreamed 
Phones with a screen
As in the cartoons, The Jetsons
Flying cars
And space clothes
Now i cover the camera
I don’t show my face
And for sure not in the future
Maybe when the future turns into the past
I could buy a flying car
Go back to the past
And whisper to the future

Joining Sadje’s WDYS. This image brought me back nice memories, I loved to watch The Jetsons when I was a kid, hope you know this cartoon but maybe you have never heard of it as most of the young people or your country didn’t broadcast American cartoons. It was about a future that it is in most of the part the present now.

WDYS:: Deadline

The outdoors is inviting. The golden light beams are dancing between the branches, adorning the leaves as sparkling diamonds. Oh, the leaves couldn’t be more appealing, dressed up in red, orange and yellow.

A few minutes here is enough to recharge me, now n.115 is waiting for me. A dark and claustrophobic room where days and nights blend with one another, a cell I’ve designed for myself to keep the distractions away. The work needs to be done, timing is pressing.

Wonder

One of my favourite lakes to visit in my city. The clouds’ reflection was stunning at that moment.
wide exuberance 
where imagination speaks
wonder is nearby 

A haiga poem for:

Tanka Tuesday: Synonyms only – Close & Open, I have chosen Wide and Nearby

W3 – Write a poem in any style about a place that evokes emotion (a place where you find poetry) – Almost all weekends I visit the lake in the photo, it always brings me joy to walk by it. The lines in my poem also start with W so perfect for the W3 challenge.

What do you see – Photo Prompt – Castles make me wonder about all the mysteries they hide inside their walls.
