Looking, not for gloom
I must seek the rising sun
Casting eyes upward
Knowing, I will find the light;
Warm comfort in these dark times

Golden droplets glow
Shimmering ever softly
In the pitch of night

Colleen’s poetry challenge for this week is Poet’s Choice. I chose to write an Easter Shadorma.
Easter morn
With smiling faces
Kiddies seek
Their treasure
No one dares tell them the truth
It is a secret

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

Colleen’s poetry challenge for this week is synonyms only! Her two words are Give and Shake. Check out Colleen’s blog to find which forms of poetry are acceptable for this challenge. Have fun!
Written as a Tanka, my synonyms are Abandoning and Shudder.
As winter snow falls,
I shudder in the cold air,
Abandoning warmth.
Much like dear autumn’s last leaf,
Who dares to cling too tightly.
