Bridge-Move Haiku 

A new Haiku challenge. Use the words bridge and move in a haiku. If you’d like to try, get all the details HERE at Renovanwrites.

Here’s my entry…

Polar opposites,
Stubborn, they refused to move.
So Love built a bridge.

100 Words…Except for One

“I’ll see you then”, she whispered through tears on that morning when he, duffel bag flung over his shoulder, boarded the train.

But she never said, “goodbye”.

Goodbyes are for endings and they were just beginning; busy with plans for a long happy future.

When she received the letter, delivered by two uniform-clad gentleman, it occurred to her as she thanked them smiling, “I never said goodbye.”

The townsfolk say you can set your watch by her arrival to the train platform, same time each day, mumbling over and again as the train passes, “but I never said goodbye…”

Like Orbs Passing

  
Golden globe of fire and
light, Sun spends his
days from edge to edge
‘Cross panoramic spans of
Sky doing what Suns do…
Unaware that passers by
Wake in sleepy dark of
Dawn just to see him rise.

And sister moon, great
Light pretender shadow
dances on her milky
Path, twirling us from
Starlit dust as oceans swell
To kiss the sand, oblivious
Her lunacy has left us
Breathless in her wake.

Orbs that pass, that come
And go, like people do
From day to day, a smile
A smirk, a lock of eyes, we
Too project our fiery light
And sullen shadows each
To each, oblivious to
The difference that we make.
