A Haiku for this week’s Three Line Tale based on this photo by Mike Wilson.


Birth


it begins at birth
for seedlings and neophytes
life’s first little death

how the dreamers groan
birthing hope in ecstasy
’twill be what saves us

A few Haiku for Haiku Horizon’s Poetry Challenge, prompt word, “Birth”.


Star War

A poem (comprised of 5 10-syllable lines with end words on each line that rhyme) for Jane Dougherty’s Poetry Challenge #50 based on the painting you see here. It just so happens that there is buzz in the news this week that NASA has discovered a new constellation. Well not a new one, it’s been there for eons, but their revelation has caused them to suggest that there are 13 zodiac signs not 12. This is terribly confusing and I am afraid I cannot wrap my brain around the new “me”.  Here’s my nifty little poem about stargazing.

“Constellations” by C. Santieau

I’ve always known that I’m a Gemini,
guided by twin stars in the night sky.
Its signs and attributes to me apply,
but scientific theory now implies
I’m Taurus born! That’s Bull I just can’t buy!

Selfless

gracious but unwise
carrying other’s burdens
forsaking one’s own.

Leaving Home

There is strength to leave
to pursue one’s wildest dreams
when home’s your anchor.
