a midday message whispers of dreams on a beach a sparrow’s wingbeat #haiku #senryu #dailyhaikuprompt

I don’t want to fade like another wallflower; like scattered wishes of dandelion seeds before spring frozen in mid-air #haiku #senryu #tanka #tankathursday #micropoetry

tendrils of dreams I am not fast enough to grasp #tenword #haiku #senryu

deep well of magic boundless joy to draw upon in careful measures we replenish in shadows that sparks might catch fire #haiku #senryu #tanka #micropoetry #amwriting

hold my hand, please — ‘cos love is a downwards fumble a slippery fall #haiku #senryu #7syllablesentence

but maybe I am just a fox that you have tamed no match for your rose #haiku #senryu #micropoetry #TheLittlePrince

city roads glisten pining for stars the night stole and promise of warmth searching for shards of hope in heavy hearts of rain-soaked souls #haiku #senryu #tanka #micropoetry

there could be no road uncertain paths we would walk without rage of love our heartfelt wonder, sustained by pure solace from the stars #haiku #tanka #emoetry #dailyhaikuprompt #vss365

our truest selves dream like the crescent moon that smiles and waits for the dawn #haiku #senryu #dailyhaikuprompt

a sanctuary built within your heart and mine always, a shelter #haiku #senryu #micropoetry

rambling stories of old places and old things catching memories as if chasing fireflies keepsakes for you in a jar #haiku #senryu #tanka

the fine line between reality and its dreams blur in the small hours in the shadow of your smile and feather-touch of your hand #haiku #senryu #tanka

under the same moon we might have breathed the same wish— whispered the same words— and pray the celestial creek might carry it for us #haiku #tanka #dailyhaikuprompt

once the storm settles the horizons will beckon glimmer with new light that we might still find our way through the unknown with no map #haiku #tanka

words across a page summoning courage and hope for futures we write #haiku #senryu #amwriting

melancholic, yes I search for traces of you in forgotten songs that we might play euphoric symphonies for forlorn moons #haiku #tanka #emoetry #inkMine #vss365 #dailyhaikuprompt

first blush of sunrise shades of effervescent hope colours of unborn dreams #haiku #inkmine

small gentle stories a balm for long winter nights to hush the world's woes I pluck from the air for you like the first fruits of spring #haiku #tanka #amwriting

on snow-dusted streets we have not yet walked upon we would leave no mark #haiku #senryu #micropoetry

with every new day every heartbroken footstep every doubt-drenched dream we seek new ways to begin while time leaves us behind #haiku #tanka #emoetry #7syllablesentence

conversations twirl and dance as if skipping stones over calm waters #haiku

between wake and sleep a labyrinth of unknowns where time's beasts keep watch #haiku

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

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

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
