The wood is seared & the sparks rivalling stars ascend. The raft is now a blistering sun that we hold our hands up to, warmth licking the edges, smoke causing tears. Maybe tomorrow we will build again, a boat that we can sail & be happy in. But now there is only fire… #vssdaily raft #vss365 sear

We ask and we beg, We pretty please and thankyou, You still walk away. #haikufeels beg

I light a candle, Make a wish and blow it out, I sit in the dark. #dailyhaikuprompt candle

When landscapes sometimes look how you feel…

Went out to connect..✨

The wheel turns. The sky moves its zodiac of ancient stories. I am heavy under the weight of heartfelt condolences. My wishes all spent, stars now tin, puncturing blackout folds that I try to pull down. An owl screeches and for a moment I feel my heart beat again. #vssdaily zodiac #vss365 heartfelt

A fidget and stim, I’m in my own little world, Thinking I’m unseen. #haikufeels fidget

Icicle sparkling, I watch the sun play prisms, Stay in the moment. #haikuchallenge icicle

Stages of my grief, Now just aware of silence, Rage has been and gone. #dailyhaikuprompt rage

Currently emerging from ashes and struggling to be bright again so this seemed like a good prompt.

Will be quiet for a few days..had to have my cat put to sleep today…everything seems very empty now…we are being quiet..

Sunday crow. ✨

If you could see me now would you dismiss me as kooky. The girl with two different colours in her hair, sitting with a unicorn & a knitted cactus, trying to make sense of poems & short sentences. Would you pretend not to have seen me or would you speak my language? #vssdaily language #vss365 kooky

Too late to cancel, Life long subscription in place, Loving you always. #haikufeels cancel

Sun casts a glamour, Snow sparkles and it looks warm, But my nose hairs freeze. #haikuchallenge glamour

Tufts of grass through snow, Like a beast lying dormant, Stroked by the winds song. #dailyhaikuprompt grass

Man cold has descended…

I took a photo…odd but decidedly cool..but then that’s crows isn’t it. ✨

What’s in your luggage? Regrets or ideas, maybe a dream that you never quite took the wrapper off. The shine still remaining for a one-day, a maybe, a sometime soon. Do you still pick out sorrows, ask if they deliver? Leave your address so they can find you… #vssdaily luggage #vss365 delivery

I try to achieve, But it’s hard between sneezes, I’ll do it next week.. #haikufeels achieve

My garden is snow, All the colours lie sleeping, But I remember… #haikuchallenge garden

Hot soup simmering, Carrots, lentils and spices, Comfort poetry. #dailyhaikuprompt soup

Almost better…I am half and half herb tea and tissues..but my humour remains! 😉

Unfortunately don’t have a poetry brain right now..in the sneezing and coughing segment of the lurgy. But keeping the prompts going! Retiring now with cat. Sneez🤧🐈‍⬛

Yesterday was shivery and dizzy .. today is too hot and sneezy…later my lovely’s.

Cat and I have a cold so we are cuddled up together watching English murder mysteries. He says the human did it…I think he’s right.

This mornings crow. ✨

Mice scurry, spooked by wings embarking on midnight forage. Beyond the trees the coyotes yip and banter and small things stay quiet. The moon plays with shadows across the snow, trees becoming spectral, long fingers stretching while stars move through their stories. #vssdaily embark #vss365 spooked

Things I can’t abide, People crunching on apples, A lack of silence. #haikufeels abide

I have faith in trees, Hymns sung by the birds flying, Moss under my feet. #haikuchallenge faith

The field is paper, Footsteps drawn across white snow, Nocturnal journeys. #dailyhaikuprompt field

Is everyone realizing how many odd things I have in the studio? 😉

Are you looking for magic? Have you put it down somewhere, placed common sense on top of it by accident. Do you remember how it hummed, if it shone for you and beckoned? Can you think of a happy thought? It can be the smallest thing, like stars balanced on your fingers… #thingstowriteabout magic

When guests drop by unexpectedly.. ✨

She has the ups and down of an elevator with all the buttons pressed. An oddball pretending to be serious but secretly hiding a pocket unicorn. She is a polite nod and a how are you today but in her mind she is a trapeze artist balanced far above pleasantries… #vssdaily elevator #vss365 oddball

I am mostly snow, Not hail or chance of sunshine, I’m squall and flurry. #haikufeels hail

My morning is snow, White paper cutouts dancing, My world disappears. #dailyhaikuprompt morning

Today’s prompt.. ✨

We may have been a bit silly today.. ✨🦖

Mostly clueless. I am a kitchen sink in a lounge, soup served with a fork. Aimless on a clear path, distracted by brambles and lost in the briar. I am that one cloud that drifts across the moon wondering where I am and how to get down.. #vssdaily lounge #vss365 clueless

I call “tag! You’re it!” Running away while laughing, Worries hunt me down. #haikufeels tag

The east holds the sun, The day blushes and begins, Snow gently falling. #haikuchallenge east

Another new year, I make promises and goals, Eat the Christmas cake. #dailyhaikuprompt new year

Yesterday was an early start towards sunrise. ✨

She was a sail away from ordinary, an abstraction from events. She would charter a thought and abandon it midway, leaving it to drift. She was a coat put away with the pockets unchecked. Small seeds left for mice. Moths nibbling dreams among sycamore savings. #vssdaily charter #vss365 abstraction

I cut out labels, The scratchy declarations, I know what I am. #haikufeels label

Gone are my debuts, I am familiar and known, The birds call my name. #haikuchallenge debut

I miss summer friends, The cornflower and wild blooms, Warm days of colour. #dailyhaikuprompt cornflower

The cold mornings.. ✨

Don’t tell my fortune, my tea leaves when the bag burst. Don’t read my palm, paint splattered life line. I will walk into the room without the light on & invariably bump into something but you don’t have to tell me. Sometimes I find things better if I stumble in the dark… #thingstowriteabout
