Franz Marc – Blue Horses – Oil on Canvas – 1911

Equine sinew brushed blue
midst dawn’s flushed

hush

“““““““““

A trio of fury
muted blue

grace

“““““““““

A few attempts of a new form, the Tilus [tee-loo-hz], for Jane Dougherty’s poetry challenge inspired by Franz Marc’s 1911 painting: “Blue Horses” or Die grossen blauen Pferde (The Large Blue Horses).

one new moon night a star fell from the sky
upon a twinkling diamond dusted trail
enchanting all who gazed into her eyes
one new moon night a star fell from the sky
an angel sent from heaven in disguise
eternity in flesh, piercing the veil
one new moon night a star fell from the sky
upon a twinkling diamond dusted trail

A Key is a Key is a Key

This is for Haiku Horizon’s weekly haiku challenge, prompt word “Key”.

Did you know that their are quite a few meanings and applications for the word “key”? It can be an instrument that unlocks something, a guide for reading symbols on maps, or a guide to colours and symbols used in a data chart, graph, plot or diagram or something that directs one to the answer of a test, riddle or to the solution of a problem. It can be a sandy island formed on the surface of a coral reef, a type of coupling used to transmit rotation between a shaft and an attached item in engineering or a piece of information that controls the operation of a cryptography algorithm. It can be the name of a person, place or company. With all these options to choose from for my haiku this week I thought I would have a little fun and combine three meanings in one 5-7-5 verse! I give you the sad story of Mr. Key…😊


Poor old Mr. Key…
retracing his steps would be key
to finding his keys!
