Gathering in
Entangled

#dailyhaikuprompt #crocus

Crocus bulbs awake
Once winter has retreated
As do I, in turn

#dailyhaikuprompt #walnut

She had walnut eyes
And a hard exterior
A tough nut to crack

#dailyhaikuprompt #apple

The front lawn is strewn
with apples, unpicked, rotting.
A waste of sweetness

(I walk by this house on my way to work and wish I could jump the wall and rescue these unloved apples)

#dailyhaikuprompt #willow

Our willow tree fell
And our secret place exposed
Where will we hide now?

#vss365 #tinystory
#doorway

He stands in the #doorway, eyes rimmed red. My eyes are clear as the door closes behind me.

#dailyhaikuprompt #sardine

We shoal together
Like sardines in the ocean
To protect from sharks

#dailyhaikuprompt #chill

Here comes that chill wind
Unmissed and so unwanted
As summer retreats

#vss365

Earth took a #chance. She decided to accept the water brought on shooting stars from beyond the asteroid belt, while all the other planets refused. She allowed life to start, and bloom. Some said she would regret this. Earth shrugged, time will tell, she thought to herself, time will tell.

#LuaViEr #acrostic

JOKE
Joviality lives here
Or am I just annoying?
Kidding aside...
Everyone hates me

#vss365 #tinystory
#conscious

He said, "You should try to be more #conscious of how your words affect others."
She said, "You should spend more of your time UNconscious."

#dailyhaikuprompt #birdsong

A conversation
In melody and rhythm
Euphonic birdsong

#LuaViEr #acrostic

DANGER
Darkness is here,
Anger and pain,
Never-ending hurt.
Get as far as you can,
Escape this place,
Run from me to safety

#LuaViEr #acrostic

READ
Reality can wait!
Each page takes my hand
And pulls
Drawing me into a new world

#dailyhaikuprompt #swirl

A swirl of stardust
Blown earthward on solar winds
Brought her last wish home
