Daily Lune #29

1-
green man beaming
from atop his lush throne
gaia in ecstasy

2-
justice cannot come
soon enough
for the exploited

Two Lunes today…one a la syllable and the other, word count. I had a bit of photoshop fun with today’s picture. Of course there was not a face in the foliage, but there was definitely a presence of the Green Man himself, I am convinced of it…see if you don’t agree. This is the original photo I took from my vantage point at a pharmacy drive-through…

…can you see him? Or maybe I am still a bit loony from this week’s strawberry full moon! 😉❤️😉

who will keep them safe
defenseless children, orphaned
ransom for a wall

Well I can’t help but think the timely prompt words for Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Poetry Challenge were asking for this. How can I not write about the children. They are always on my mind, and will continue to be until they are reunited with their parents and we end this horrible nightmare.

Curious Web

By Kat Myrman

Two spiders marveled at the seaside sights one amber dusk, “They are curious, these human webs, catching nothing but the wind.”

“Such a waste they are,” agreed the second spider, “who can live on the wind alone?”

“My dear spiders, we do indeed live for the wind,” whispered the unfurled sails nearby, “for there is more to life than mere survival; the wind feeds not our bellies but our souls.”
