Poetry ~ Waka
When a friend or colleague leaves I have to be reminded that change is good and if I expect the unexpected in life, I will rarely be disappointed.
“change is a constant”
says the caterpillar
“follow the flow”.
butterfly sips sweet nectar

Daily Moments on this 7th day of June – Change
staring at the screen
nothing happens
what is wrong with me?
I want to scream!
not a word comes
not even a phrase
from my empty head.
when that moment hails
and inspiration does not fail
what a feeling to be had
poetry in motion
alas it’s not tonight
the words will come
another day
until then I shall walk
around the parks
and search among the trees
to my muse they may talk
I feel a tanka brewing
in the back of my mind
yay, a line or two or three or five
to finally end my day
(tanka)
wind at my back
riding on my bicycle
taking in the view
shops, bistros and patios
summer’s around the bend

Daily Moments June 7, 2017 unpredictable muse
She walked uptown and managed to get to the top of the hill without panting too much. She was quite proud of that fact although she was also wise by pausing now and then. She could feel the muscles pulling at the back of her thighs and knew if she lived here within a few months she certainly would be in better shape. Yes, perhaps she should take the stairs more often going up at work. Starting this week she made a mental note to do this.
By the time she returned down to the beach, people were walking along the pier to get a better view…
blends of amber
smudging layer on layer
warms twilight sky
blends of amber
rocking softly
on the water
smudging layer on layer
soft strokes
painter’s brush
warms twilight sky
radiates from golden star
nature’s last farewell

pounding through her chest
blurred words of the heart – only,
a mother knows

parting with such grace
behold it glows from affair
hope of brighter days

golden rays bleed
pure joy lifts above the clouds
through blue canvas
golden rays bleed
making faces glow
streaking blue skies
pure joy lifts above the clouds
hearts beating
lovers hand in hand
through blue canvas
artwork changes with each puff
gusts tense the jib

A Troiku is a new haiku form created by Chèvrefeuille at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai
I decided to write a troiku out of my previous haiga; a troiku is a new form of haiku created by Chèvrefeuille at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai.
secrets
hidden in sombre clouds
waiting to bleed
secrets
ancient stories
silenced
hidden in sombre clouds
shame, guilt and pent up rage
emotional storms
waiting to bleed
purging all the suffering
to let in rainbows

Daily moments- healing (haiga) June 1/17
“Compassion is the foundation of peace.” Amma
The old woman toiled in her garden for days, her heart filled with such hope…
Planting seeds
deep enough
free from foul play
Planting seeds
filled with love
forming strong roots
Deep enough
as a love struck poet
versed with compassion
Free from foul play
only white doves
spreading world peace
