wilted roses under all this junk the first love #vssdaily junk #WriteMap #love #Senryu #SenryuSunday #micropoetry

first date — the erotic crinkling of a bag of chips #BraveWrite #erotic #Senryu #SenryuSunday #micropoetry

blank notebook secrets I've never told myself #DailyHaikuPrompt (note)

Instead of my alarm clock, the thunder rolls (the lightning was missed by closed eyes). Thousand small finger are knocking against the walls of the aquarium. I turn around once more & #sail away with my bed. #thingstowriteabout

slow turn of a ceiling fan, what i think on is random #senryu

kids eating dill pickles with a peppermint, pennies jingle in my pockets #senryu

his face at dusk another glass of a cheap wine #senryu

welcome nightrain getting up to pee then back to sleep #senryu

watching figure-skating all the things i never became #senryu

destroying to fix lacunae new jigsaw #vssdaily #destroy #WriteMap #fix #vss365 #lacuna #Haiku #micropoetry

quick-tempered: the refrain of winter a raucous wind #HaikuChallenge #refrain #InkMine #raucous #DailyHaikuPrompt #wind #Haiku #micropoetry

cats in love... out of a harmless flirt an unwanted child #BraveWrite #flirt #Haiku #micropoetry

late afternoon light and shadow falling on the summer wildflowers he gathered to spread on her doorstep #tanka #TankaThursday #romance

#dark, bottomless, full of whispers - the #lacuna of your heart #vss365

bright bright sunlight makes its way into our bodies~ spring

There were very few areas of #lacunae in the game. Practically every part of every region had something to see. Most of the areas had something to do. Unless, like Rory, you were inquisitive & had learned how to reach ‘unreachable‘ places. You could find emptiness if you looked hard enough. #vss365

There are doors in the night, some will lead into the morning or into a bright future, while others only lead further into the #dark. I wonder which one leads into your heart. #vss365

another car pulling up... 'humans are strange creatures' i keep telling myself #tanka

waiting and waiting the afternoon train slightly delayed...i think #tanka

leaving the silver unpolished a cup of mint tea warms my soul #tanka

In the name of silence break it In the name of the gong bang it In the name of the song sing it In the name of yesterday remember #MPPrompt

not winter nor spring a stray cat sneaks through the garden #thingstowriteabout #sneak #WriteMap #garden #Haiku #micropoetry

a whole life unable to touch clouds #vss365 #touch #DailyHaikuPrompt #cloud #Haiku #micropoetry

witty... the dog barks at its own tail #InkMine #witty #Haiku #micropoetry

I'm digging up the #bones of my past. Some are bright green & made of plastic, some bear strange inscriptions, some glow softly, some crumble to the lightest touch. Put them all together & you'll have the sekeleton of my life. Now let's put flesh on it. #vss365

windseared moon my colleague talks on and on #senryu

scalding my tongue with green tea the words don't seem to come #tanka

clear cold night... I can almost feel the moonscape #BraveWrite #moonscape #Haiku #HaikuSaturday #micropoetry

melting snow the passage to spring still closed #HaikuChallenge #passage #Haiku #HaikuSaturday #micropoetry

tasting the north wind; cotton-candy clouds #DailyHaikuPrompt #northwind #Haiku #HaikuSaturday #micropoetry

#DailyHaikuPrompt #northwind in full mourning the north wind and i continue to wail

The moon is a #wound in the nightsky that all the stars have come to heal. & the word is a wound on the page that can only be treated with Tipp-Ex or an eraser #vss365

lurking flowers — ghosts of the past, reforming #thingstowriteabout #flowers #vss365 #ghost #Haiku #micropoetry

nearly spring — the tulips' pedals fiery red #BraveWrite #tulip #InkMine #fiery #Haiku #micropoetry

cold returns all I can afford barley soup #WriteMap #cold #DailyHaikuPrompt #barley #Haiku #micropoetry

fairy shoes parked under a mushroom #UnknownFairyTales #haiku

midnight bells ringing in the fog #haiku

leaving dishes in the sink, i need a gun permit #senryu

again walking down cold people-less streets.... i need to grow up #tanka

quietly peeling oranges i am often to hard with myself #sadusa

adjusting the potted plants, finally home where i belong #senryu

everything is made of stardust; related souls #thingstowriteabout #stardust #vss365 #soul #Senryu #micropoetry

despite rain the oasis is dry coming of spring #HaikuChallenge #oasis #DailyHaikuPrompt #rain #Haiku #micropoetry

What if #soul was not a noun but a verb? Would you soul with me? Do I soul with my students? You should soul at least 15 minutes every day. I soul you! #vss365

#vss365 #📸 AstroBackyard #Poetry I carved myself out of smooth sandstone gravestone Sparkling dust in the shape of a glorious nebula My #soul refuses to lie dormant Particles of me become the universe Forever eternal In a sea of dark light, I am immortal

If you hold this poem carefully to your ear, you will heart the #thrum of its little heart & softly feel it, like the heart of a hurt little bird whose wounds you want to treat. #vss365

quince jam — in the office, no day without gossip #DailyHaikuPrompt #quince #Senryu #micropoetry #thingstowriteabout #office

dense fog obfuscates the steeple: kids play catch #vss365 #obfuscate #Haiku #micropoetry

paging in a boring book the game without instructions can noone win #TankaThursday #page #WriteMap #game #TankaPoem #Tanka #micropoetry

quivering through strife on the battlefield of life the walking wounded just hoping we don't bleed out while healing along the way #vss365 #quiver #tanka
