Child
Who is
Reflected
On the water
Bares her soul aloud
In the silence of night
As barren trees listen, watch
Her attention lies far away
Scattered thoughts unleash a roaring din
She wonders if the birds can hear them, too

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

Shimmering ever softly

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

 

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!! ❤

Into the Abyss – #haibun – #senryu – #poetry challenge

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
