Haiku #337

Bipolar snow job Displays a placid surface Wild torrents below ~ In response to Ronovan Writes #Weekly #Haiku #Poetry Prompt #Challenge #283 Placid&Wild

Sweetheart

Somebody already broke my heart I put the pieces back together Called it a work of art Every now and then it’ll fall apart Around tender and weak parts When I slip into the dark In these words of wisdom I impart You too deserve a fresh start To find your counterpart Keep playing; throw

Stand strong ~ #Tanka

The weight of the pain Is hard to bear on some days Smiling through the rain Eventually, it fades Stand strong, wipe the tears away

Out of sync ~ #poem

My inner voice weeps As this pen has ran out of ink Leaving thoughts to swirl then sink Beneath the churning surface in a blink Making us an impossibility to hold and think Leaving behind the memories to cherish and keep

Conceited~ #Tanka #Poem

He thinks she’s earned it I question if she’s worthy Here from the surface I’m still learning to accept Nobody’s perfect, like me

The past, still ~ #Senryū

Sometimes, I look back At all of the crap written Then have a good laugh

Feeling safe

I’ve always been the one  To run away, afraid  That’s why I was surprised When I heard him say Wow you were really brave  For a change All coz he made me feel  that way…safe

With exuberance

Your everyday life might not be paradise, and that’s alright When you come to realize it may never be perfect, but it’s always worth it Enjoy the simple pleasures protect your treasures, so they last forever ~~~ Sunrises and sunsets never have any regrets, which we tend to forget Stay snug as a bug in

Haiku 🌚 #313

Super blood wolf moon On full display till eclipsed An oddity waned

Floss-silk

Her thorns are a mystery each a sweetbrier of history With roots running deep there’s strength in her beliefs She reaches for the sky no rhymes or reasons to justify Thriving in a cold world fighting for space to unfurl Bestowed by unique beauty I find myself beguilingly on duty Barren of emotional leaves yet

Proofing ~ #Haiku

A spoonful of couth Sprinkled on doughs of respect Make the final rise

State of being

When you stop fighting Against the opposition Inevitably You are bound to realize Inner tranquility

Beach day 🏖

I remember going to the beach And how we stayed up all night packing As if we were going for week Loaded everything up in the car Sans the kitchen sink on little to no sleep Pulling out in the dark, yet it wasn’t far Arriving while the tide was still high The fog breathed

My Cup Runneth Over

Sometimes I don’t even know When my cuppa life overflows With substance others can’t hold Until I am reminded and told By the envious eyes that behold The rich, sweetness that shows To those who lost control and let go Now standing naked and alone Wandering souls and haters exposed As I fill their cups

New motto ~ #Senryu #Poem

I’m happy to help Once I take care of myself It will all be dealt

Pragmatically ~ #Tanka

It’s truly June gloom, yet it doesn’t mean we’re doomed reverse of belief It’s what we need to succeed On this reef as the sun peeks
