distorted

under that make-up
she had the prettiest face…
her reflection lied.

Muse & Pen Haiku

His pen stained the page
deep cerulean on white
an ode to his muse.

A Sunday Sept

  

Rest
Today.
Tomorrow
Nips at our heels
With troubles
That can
Wait.

Sunday Week in Review -25 October 2015

What an interesting week! When it began I didn’t know that my life would be changing by week’s end. Yet here I am on the other side with another little soul to care for. Lucy is home with us now. There was also the closing of a chapter, but not of a dream. The dream lives in the words spilled out on the “pages” of this blog.

I learned a new poetry style, the “sept” which I truly enjoy, and I learned a new word that I shall likely never use. But that being said, I am glad to have learned it. Life is about always learning and transition and change.

Would it be an overstatement to say that a lifetime was packed into this short seven days? Perhaps. But that is how eternity works. 🙂

If you’re new to this blog, a bit of background to explain the verse below. It is a line from each poem or prose from the previous week. Lifted and placed in the order written. A snapshot review of the week. It helps me clean the slate…reflect and ready myself for the new week. 

Have a wonderful week ahead. I’ll see you on the other side 🙂

Week in Review ~ 25 October 2015

Hearts exposed
Fulfilling
Hopes and
Dreams
Separate
Once, now
One.
it’s okay to grieve.
‘midst the din of rousing cheers!
I can listen
in silence we knew
In lay terms, he was a butterfly chaser!
souls sucked deep into the grid
It will change their life…and yours!
Apply coercive herd management techniques if necessary.
one really can’t blame him for his scheme!
How audacious of me to think it, but oh, if it could be me she chooses!”
Icing on the cake.

Convive – Friday’s Word of the Day Haiku


Well this was a tricky word. My usual Google search brought up French, Spanish and Latin variations of this word but little in the way of English definitions or examples except for what Dictionary.com provided. So for the sake of this exercise I give you Convive – Haiku. (Though not sure I’ll use this word again…poor Convive! Please don’t take it personally, but I get confused with nouns that look like verbs 🙂 )

The convives enjoyed dessert
