The earth opened up before me
Yet it didn’t swallow me whole
It took everything I tried to hold
A landslide of out of my control
Carving its path of destruction
As I watched on from the front row

Put a spoon in it
Life’s all about give and take
The weekend got in the way
I pulled an emergency break
Allowed dirty dishes to stay
Piled in muck for 1 or 2 days
Till no forks remained in tray
It didn’t bring about doomsday
In fact, I served coconut cake
A spoon simply stood in its place
🍅 tomāto, tomăto, tomatoes – #Tanka
We are all vibrant
A myriad of colors
Eradicating
Harmful free radicals found
In humanities garden
Discipline
I stopped at the pond
To reflect
The trails and tribulations
Of the days events
Notwithstanding regrets
I’d paid witness
To a spectacular sunset
Off to the west
A nod of approval in effect
For time well spent
Unwinding on our descent
Forgiveness, never forgets
The butterfly effect 🦋
It’s vivid colors
Made my heart sing
Till I saw a torn wing
Steadily flapping
Despite its pain
Almost happily
To my wonder
Dismayed
New Year
New
Renewed
Beginnings
Allotting us
Another three hundred sixty-five days
To change the behaviors then go astray
More of the same
Blah blah blah
New Years
Eve
2018-1-3 #Senyru
My resolution’s
To find lasting solutions
Without illusions
