uncertainty reigns
on days old gods shuffle cards
to curb their boredom
or throw dice to change the course
of random destinies

#haiku #senryu #tanka #BSPP50

the swinging shadows
glittering ghosts at our feet
weave stories from dust
while hands dance to silent songs;
love moves, and we move with it

#haiku #tanka #senryu #micropoetry #dream

Thank you for the prompts!

Thank you :)

the weary winter
yearns for what it couldn’t have
a calm wish for spring
the loving nod of snowdrops
dancing under a new moon

#haiku #tanka #micropoetry #BSPP50

chill, the wind
caress of cold rain
kiss of teardrops

loud, the demons
feasting on fears
that life is fleeting

wet, the ink
still on my page
the story—continues

#tenword #haiku #senryu #dailyhaikuprompt

Beautiful :)

memories linger
saltwater stark on the tongue
suddenly, a dream
evaporates in the dark; still—
the universe smiles

#haiku #senryu #tanka #TankaThursday #vss365

an uncharted path
presents sometime obstacles
under falling rain
but with patience, we persist
toward love’s lighthouse
our tired feet touched by cloud
our hearts, guided by the stars

#haiku #senryu #choka #dailyhaikuprompt #vss365

echoes of chatter
cloud cluttered days
like flocks of geese

hours stand still;
time, a waterfall
with stories to tell

a gentle solace
in familiar rituals
a world to build

#tenword #haiku #senryu #micropoetry

questions yet resolved
vex calm minds and open hearts
while fast train rolls slow
pulled by time’s arrow that will
one day steal you from me

#haiku #senryu #tanka #micropoetry #ourpoetryx

at long journey’s end:
northern effervescent night
with old friends and new;
blissful hours in a flurry
at crossroads of dreams
paled memories reemerge,
dawn with a different view

#haiku #senryu #choka #emoetry #dailyhaikuprompt #vss365

early train journeys
complicate familiar rites
the day takes a breath
filling a page with whispers
so old souls make time to dream

#haiku #senryu #tanka #micropoetry

silver dragonfly
rests upon a spider’s web
suspended in silk

#tenword #haiku #senryu #micropoetry #dream

untangling strands
of words
separating destinies

#sixword #haiku #senryu #micropoetry #amwriting

such delicate days
warmth we’ve had to leave behind
in boxes on shelves
dreams spun in the liminal
gentle magic and
tenderness in the mundane
we shall always keep aflame

#haiku #senryu #choka #micropoetry #dailyhaikuprompt

technical defaults
are seldom correctly set—
that’d be too easy;
mute the bells for each device
in all rooms unseen
perhaps a customised rule
to capture a voice
history’s slate may yield trouble
so best wipe the traces clean

#haiku #senryu #choka #micropoetry #techsupport

Long! But went alright, thanks for asking 😊

Oh no, hope your day wasn’t bad!

music with no words
so throw away the score; play
a song plucked from air

#haiku #senryu #micropoetry #dream

when night’s demons come
they will find you in my arms
our hands lacing spells
from shadows of undreamt dreams
to keep us safe from harm

#haiku #senryu #tanka #micropoetry #vssfantasy

Thank you so much for your wonderful prompts Bethany! Especially appreciated the gorgeous choices of music as well :)

lost in the music
the breath of unspoken words
the soft sigh of skin

#haiku #senryu #micropoetry

Really lovely 💕

some time ten years hence
we might look back on ourselves
with soothing kindness—
that we had chosen the path
true to the song in our hearts

#haiku #senryu #tanka #vss365

syncopated rain
punctuate different mornings
far away from home

#haiku #senryu #micropoetry

shift in the night air—
swell of pain, a sadness
thrum of uncried tears—
perhaps you will tell me one day
how the world has changed

#haiku #senryu #tanka #micropoetry #vss365

Thanks 😊

Really lovely 💕

perhaps we forgot
to offer glasses of wine
to grumpy old gods
