Tara Salo

Stay strong and remember
Even in the coldest months
Flowers find strength to grow
Hold on for another second
And another minute
And another day
Please stay
With me.

I still can't believe 2 of my poems are in a starting poetry magazine!
They're called WisteriaMagz, and it's a truly cool opportunity to be one of the first accepted!

In Kyoto,
hearing the cuckoo,
I long for Kyoto.

Another night, another stroll
Hold my breath, bite the cold
Through the fog, I see lights
Mysterious glows, by my side
Moon snuck out, for company
The silent street, of serenity
Another night, another stroll
Lanterns held, by gentle souls.

Wakadori no

The young birds’
Courageous songs
(Are like) pure spring water

Slipped into winter
An icy lake’s scenery
Beauty with a thud

Thank you! 😊

I am wrapped in caution tape
Reminded of every mistake
A new layer for each sunrise
For yellow, can't compromise.

I avoid the colour yellow
Because your words still echo
It was your favourite colour
Every shade of summer

Now the sun is always too bright
And so are the street lights
Lemons bring me sour memories
Like my golden accessories

I poured out a piece of me
Into a small glass
Nowhere near the brim
But enough for it to tip
A wine-stained soul
Who tried to breathe

It's funny the way light
can dance & play—
how it flickers
through the pane

it's lovely the way light
might not be light at all
but hope—
flitting in
at the edges of despair

it's wonderful how light
can be not light at all
but you—
the way
your soul shines
through the window
of my mind.

Winter!
Don't melt away
Keep the snow and frost
Don't let spring come
For when flowers bloom
My age will grow
Freeze time with your breath
For I'm not ready to let go

empty sky—
someone clearly drank
the moon

Alright cool! It seems like a great form, so I will try to somehow think of something to write about😅

Today is the day
Leaves start to grow on the trees
Smell of peonies

Oh okay! So, one stanza and how strict are the syllables? I'm quite bad at writing fun poetry, so it probably won't be any good, but I'll definitely try!

Never heard of this form! Tried briefly looking up some examples, but I'm still unsure what it is. But I'd really love to try writing one!

軋む骨
静かに去れる
春を待つ

Creaking bones
Waiting for spring
When I might leave quietly

I wrote this poem inspired by my Wattpad short story retelling of Yuki-Onna!
It's called Yuki-onna: Storms of Snow if you're interested in checking it out!
I added a personal twist to her character.

Icicle Tears:

I exist to be feared
Not to be heard
Yet when I met you
I started to learn

The frost on my face
And my snow pale skin
Can still feel warmth
By the gifts you bring

Icicles from my eyes
Slowly start to melt
And I now realise
What living meant

Fluffy clouds fly by
My eyes shut for a moment
They left no goodbye

#haiku #poetry

As leaves wither
And trees shiver
Snow starts to fall
Over it all
Rivers of frost
Autumn got lost

I have another one if that isn't too selfish😂 Lovely work btw!
-
Worn-down forest trail
In the far distance, I hear
Sound of baby deer

snow weighs heavy
on old plum tree's branch -
how I long for spring

“For a minute the sky pours into the hole like plasma.
There is no hope, it is given up.”
Sylvia Plath (1962)

You don't plant a seed
And demand it to grow
You don't drown a flower
And ask why it died
So why do you hate yourself
For trying to survive?
