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

Though rain overwhelms
The spider never gives in
She climbs up the drain

To watch the floral parade
As tulips march on

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
