Colleen’s poetry challenge for this week is Poet’s Choice. I chose to write a Haibun/Senryu.
Through the darkness of morning, a shrill sound breaks the silence. I am startled, groggy, finally realizing it’s the telephone ringing. I answer to hear apologies for waking me, as she rambles on about another place. She doesn’t care for where she is. She only knows she has to move.
I cannot go through this again. The last time nearly buried me. Still, I feel myself sinking further down, into that abyss, with no hope of seeing the light again.
Self-preservation
My anomaly exposed
Battles for the win
