between wake and sleep a labyrinth of unknowns where time's beasts keep watch so I search for your shadow to lead me into the light #haiku #tanka

in another time we might have loved on the beach and wait for sunrise to spin new mythologies for fading constellations #haiku #tanka

cracked lids and barrels graveyard of broken TWSBIs in my desk drawer #fountainpen #haiku #senryu

mysteries unfold beyond the first gold of dawn that I have no hope of unravelling, unless I find where you hid the key #tanka #micropoetry

like the sunflower that bends towards warmth and light I would relinquish all glims of casual smiles, to weave gossamer dreams with you #tanka #blueskyrelay #emoetry #dailyhaikuprompt #vss365

birds soar on the wind braving a fearless, clear sky as dawn blossoms into day #haiku #dailyhaikuprompt

ash under our feet icicles on eyelashes in futures frozen on these roads yet untravelled that I will walk with you #haiku #tanka #haikufeels #vss365 #dailyhaikuprompt #ourpoetryx

above doubt-filled clouds pink light dances like foxes in a flower field #haiku

all mornings begin with bitter coffee stirred through dissipating dreams so I sweeten every word I write for you with love #haiku #tanka

everywhere I breathe there are ghosts of us, stranded in half-formed dreams #haiku

sunset settles, like murmurations of starlings upon the water #haiku

in the nothing hours ghosts haunt between spells of sleep determined to steal our breaths, like waves of the sea lulling fears into the deep #tanka #poem #micropoetry

dusk softly invites reverence to the zephyr whose songs lure so sweet that we stray down blind alleys and brave uncertain paths #haiku #tanka #blueskyrelay #7syllablesentence #ourpoetryx #emoetry

a whisper of wind morning dawns without shadow I carry within #haiku

and there might have been true beauty in the silence; a gentle quiet through the benevolent night from which tomorrow is born #tanka #tankathursday #dailyhaikuprompt #whistpr #blueskyrelay

photos and chatter from far-flung family, spread across five time-zones #haiku #xmas #christmas

lamp of butterflies gold light guiding our ascent to rise from the dark within whose shadows, we smile your soft hand warm in mine #haiku #tanka #dream

white clouds hurry past leafless branches in warm sun while trees dream of spring #haiku

in our back garden we won’t grow bright red roses or pink hydrangeas but replenish memories with oak trees and wildflowers #tanka #poem #micropoetry #DailyHaikuPrompt #BlueSkyRelay

shapes bound stitch by stitch we make a quilt of beauty for someday lovers woven of stories you tell and gentle dreams I breathe #DailyHaikuPrompt #haiku #tanka #senryu #micropoetry

the sullen sky weeps for the departed spider cold in the window #haiku #senryu

Had I dreamed of you in some forgotten past lives or unborn futures — or did our trajectories collide between stars that only furtive whispers of déjà vu now remain? #blueskyrelay #poem #choka #micropoetry

through the clouds, a scar admits a sliver of sun for a glimpse of hope #haiku #senryu

every bird knows the golden solstice sunrise brings winter's turning but still I yearn for the stars to guide my way through the dark #tanka #haiku #blueskyrelay #DailyHaikuPrompt

street-lamps flicker on keeping cold darkness at bay but shadows linger upon the paths we have walked; our breaths, faint traces in time #tanka #haiku #senryu

a dithering dawn sycamores and sailing clouds bloom in monochrome #dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #micropoetry #poetrycommunity

the heavy silence does not bother the spider still in the window while I whittle the hours with shreds of light I have left #tanka #micropoetry #poetry #poetrycommunity
