June 5, Haiku : Trampled Trust

empty, hollow words

unable to find healing

trust that’s been trampled

June 4, 2020: Reflexes of Pain

human reflexes

to inflict pain upon those

we believe hurt us

A cycle of destruction that threatens to consume us all.

This morning’s haiku: this age of rage

in this time of rage

invective traded like cash

poetry’s my peace


Checked Twitter this morning. So much rage. I’m not sure there’s not anyone without veins bulging nor invective dripping from their lips, a poison so sweet, so deadly. 

I’m glad I have this little garden on the internet, where I can delight in life and growth, not what’s been burned beyond recognition.

Word of the Day Challenge, May 26, 2020

Today’s Word of the Day challenge is “bosom”.

now hold each other
clutch children to our bosom
the world’s mad with rage

Monday Morning Meditation

Mondays are a gift

Beginnings: great potential

How will you use it?

A Leap Day Haiku

I expect this might be better classified as senryu, but I’ll let others decide. 

Thursday Thoughts

Find hope at endings

As they’re a new beginning

Always move forwards

As I move through another period of transition, I focus on the possible. I gain energy from that, driving me forwards. Yes, there are frustrations, challenges, and road blocks, but remember the goal. Always focus on moving forwards.

Grace and peace to you my friends!

Stirring Kindness: A Senryu

A senryu on kindness
