I will tend to the garden and it will tend to my soul seeding flora and feeding reaping in peace overflow Fingers and heart now in motion mind set blissful at ease Joy found not in a bauble as in roses, tomatoes and peas #vss365 #tend #poetry 🖼️ Wynn Yarrow

Grasshopper clouds and a murder of crows Nature writes a mystery #dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #poetry #cloud #grasshopper 🖼️ Bret Blevins

night breathes world throws noise against the silence blaring muted incognito in the shadows moans of passion and pain screams of loss and victory notes of battered keys murmured melodies birthed into blues

when pen arrives at Its destination I often look back at the journey in wonder #vss365 #arrive

Fill the mind with wisdom Keep it open For dreams #completethehaiga 162 #prompt #haiga #haiku #senryu #tanka

#Temptation's reigns were pulling and I began the dance the puppet's frantic tapping I bartered with the chance to take or to deny it I weighed the cost in pain to gratify my heart or satisfy the sane What bully be the universe to set me in such plight I closed my eyes took a breath and .... #VSS365

As sun descends beyond the sea and moon begins to rise the stars against a velvet sky are magic to my eyes The wind blows ever softly a kiss against my cheeks I melt into this moment … a picture I can keep #vss365 #poetry #descend 📸 Chad Powell ‘Midnight Blue’

’twas atop the rock at the bottom that I did see the light at tunnel’s end I endeavored this journey through the night I struggled against its whispers to gently settle in I knew that point of no return was where I must begin

I chase the wind become the breeze Lift from the earth and bend my knees Pedal faster as I pretend Like my balloons I too ascend #vss365 #poetry #amwriting #ascend 🖼️ “Pure Joy” URBNsense

My flight was delayed the layover became a residency every now and again I’d look up at the sky and promise myself one day I’ll trust these wings enough to fly #poetry #emoetry

What happens when the “strong one” removes the shield how harsh the response when strong one no longer yields when take and take and take is put to an end foe revealed as family foe revealed as friend how toxic the cycle how tiring the line … just some thoughts hovering ‘bout the mind #poetry

I lost a part of me and I shall never heal No day goes by that I still breath not praying this isn’t real #poetry #emoetry #grief

headwinds … wings had no defense updrafts kept me going if that makes any sense the further back I tumbled the higher up I rose for me, there's no complaining I walked the roads I chose mountaintops are sweeter because I know the price #headwinds taught me lessons I don't plan to learn them twice

A cold frosty drink A warm summer rain Contentment in the contrast #dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #poetry #frosty #rain 🎨 Erin Gregory

Fermented daylight drenched in guava rays of summer's drunken sun slowly sliding from its perch in a hazy blue sky clouds coconut shaved ice soaking in melon irie in tropical winds

Meet me before twilight in the garden of my muse there shall we pretend at life with no scarring or bruise A bit of perfection to chase away ghost that set tea trays of Cotton at hauntings they host Tears are forbidden drench feelings in wine We'll build walls of pudding stone and fences of vine

sometimes the alphabet fall where they may pen then sketches a map sometimes heart takes a cosmic trail leaving mind with questions to ask sometimes we know where it is we head sometimes we write as we guess ‘til light is shed and landing's clear confirming that pen knows best

Coastal morning Seafoam blowing bubbles Sand plover takes its first dip #dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #poetry #sandplover 📸 Peter Garrity

no rhyme or reason two spirits entwine distance nor time cannot undo what fate and purpose has fused love understated confused with convenience, choice or mood mind cannot fathom heart's cavernous roots so it tries to dismiss what life brings back as truth #poetry #emoetry #amwriting
