Time – A Haiku
A Haiku based on the prompt word: Time, for Haiku Horizons.
Time is elusive
Dribbling through our fingers
Never to return.

Tragedy’s Lament
Once again the
mothers weep and
hide their children
safe to keep, as
talking heads, their
blood lust slaking,
vomit spin to
boost their ratings.
Lines are drawn and
trenches dredged as
pols fight for the
winning edge, and
fear and loathing set
the stage for
wayward zealots
venting rage.
We pride
ourselves as
civilized and
judge the
stranger with
our eyes, but
souls reside where
we can’t see, the
other’s not our
enemy. Remember
when you seek to
blame, under the
skin we are
the same.

Do You Remember?
Do you remember when you lost your way?
For some it was disguised as childplay
In cool divisive shades of pink and blue,
the lines were drawn according to the rules
And differences were judged in stark display.
Some fragile hearts were broken in the fray
of bitter battles between us and they
And lines were blurred obscuring every truth.
Do you remember?
How magnificent you are in every way.
Your life’s a precious gift infused with grace.
Don’t let world fraught with fear subdue
the beauty of your soul that makes you, You…
Do you remember?

A Rondeau is a French form, 15 lines long, consisting of three stanzas: a quintet, a quatrain, and a sestet with a rhyme scheme as follows: aabba aabR aabbaR. Lines 9 and 15 are short – a refrain (R) consisting of a phrase taken from line one. The other lines are longer (but all of the same metrical count)
Shi Sai Sunday’s Week in ReVerse – 12 June 2016
Happy Sunday! Another chapter and verse review of the past week. An interesting Shi Sai, in that it reads more like a story than poetry, but that doesn’t surprise me. I was able to carve out a bit of time to participate in a few flash fiction challenges. I’ve missed those!
So today I give you a prose poem that tells a story of its own. And as with any good story there is a simple lesson to take away. In a nutshell I think this week was telling me to say what I mean… and mean what I say. And it’s also a reminder to me that I need to say the important things while the people who mean the most to me are still here to hear me say them.
Tell those that you love that you do, speak kindly to strangers, don’t hold your tongue when it comes to the truth. Life is too short for regrets.
Love and light to you…and peace…always peace. ❤️
Shi Sai Sunday’s Week in ReVerse – 12 June 2016
I’ll probably regret this…oh well!
sometimes it’s best to leave things alone.
…slips of the tongue…
Who would do such a thing?!
…full of chatter, laughter and memories of those that were lost
gloaming on the cusp
We have gravitated to other means of speaking our mind…
clipping through choppy swells
as if they truly mean it…
Why couldn’t you just tell me while you were still here…kat ~ 12 June 2016
