eternity comes and
goes…it is here
and there and
nowhere…it has
nothing to do
with time

the moon’s dark face
is coming to cover the
sun leaving a path
through our soul
too bright to behold




love is a powerful frost-nipped, lingering
frail crimson petals clinging
’tis hope rooted deep

I found this week’s photo prompt by TJ for his Household Haiku Challenge a bit perplexing. Blame it on my astigmatism! I stared long and hard trying to decide whether I was looking down at a reflective pool or through a rocky portal…hence my chaotic little out-of order Haiku. What do you see, now that I’ve planted that perspective in your head? Things are not always what they seem! 😉 This week’s prompt words with the synonyms I used for this week’s Haiku in parentheses are Chaos (muddle) & Order (tranquil).
tranquil tidal pools
or glimpse through Valhalla’s loam

“That’s right! My name is Terrance A. Cotta, the 1003rd, but you can call me Terry…get it? Sheesh! Humans are so dense!”
“I’m going crazy!”
“Oh, get over yourself! You and I are made of the same stuff you know. You’re just mucilaginous. I was once a mountain. I soared so high I danced with the clouds.”
“Mucilaginous? What’s that mean? Never mind. I’m outa here!”
“Oh well, off you go then. But I could tell you things, if you’d listen. I could tell you things…”
