i am the shining
sand revealed as waves depart,
hard-ridged underfoot
who would have thought that
such tiny elements could
hurt bare arches so?
Doh! I linked to the wrong link on TJ’s blog earlier. Well, that means there is double the amount of haiku than normal – more for TJ’s new Haiku Hub!
This week’s prompt is actually ‘tide’ – I thought about what lies beneath the waves instead!
Please do hop on over the TJ’s blog, have a good read, and maybe offer up a haiku (or two) yourself?
i blamed it on you
all the less-important-than
all the i’m-not-good-enough-for
sometimes it’s easier than –
easier than – owning it myself.
No, being honest, not just sometimes.
always.
I stared balefully at you whilst you were lying there
almost-but-not-quite hating you from the depths of my F-d up love
for doing it again (again)
for leaving without so much as a goodbye
– this time
the one where there’s no turning back.
It wasn’t you though.
You didn’t put those thoughts in my head,
it was my internal compass seeking magnetic north
and finding south –
as per.
So, I own my thoughts now
they’re mine.
All mine.
You’re pretty much off the hook, as you should have been from the beginning.
I’m a bit late to the party of the final day of the dVerse 5th anniversary celebrations, but hopefully better late than never!
We have the joy of an interview with Anthony Desmond, get to read one of his great poems and are encouraged to write on the subject of a belief that we have realised is no longer true, or our feelings when pressured to change our minds. Quite a subject!
Here’s my offering, I hope you find it interesting. Catharsis is the order of the day at the moment.
Please do head on over to dVerse to read the interview with Anthony, read the poetry created by the talented dVerse bunch and… why not have a go yourself?
heady scents drowning
out my thoughts, erasing bad
memories – pure bliss
i scrape my mind clean
starting anew, a clean slate
is my one desire
It’s time for TJ’s Household Haiku Challenge, where this week we are invited to write on the theme of garden/bottlebrush. Much of my writing, be it poetry or prose, is catharsis for me. The ups and downs are all fodder for my creativity! Thank you, TJ, for providing today’s inspiration!
Why not join in, or if you’re feeling shy, just read and enjoy?
TJ has created a Haiku Hub on his blog – do take a look, read, enjoy, find inspiration, take part! TJ has provided us with a great logo to add to any posts that you want to be included in his hub. I’m honoured to be an inaugural member! Thank you again, TJ 🙂
