Cherita Day 16

harmonic dissonance

in the key of c
wind-tossed chimes

collide, moaning
a storm is coming
a storm is coming

Quick Slip -A Haiku

life is a mere blip
slipping away dawn to death
quicker than a wink

~kat

For Ronovan Writes Haiku Poetry Challenge, prompt words: quick & slip.

 


Empathy

it takes empathy
the kindness of bleeding hearts
freaks who care too much
to restore our dignity
and grace, our reputation

~kat

A Tanka for Colleen Chesebro’s Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge using synonyms only for the words:

No Words…Except… (A Cherita)

silence

but for the cacophony
of thoughts and perfidious prayers

feigned outrage fading into the abyss of
yesterday’s news; blood soaked hands of
cowards scrawling, “must build a wall…”

~kat~

I titled this no words…but I am a poet, damn it, and words are the only thing I have to give to this troubled world. I rue the day when even the poets become silent. Peace my friends. Tell someone you love, that you do…love them.


Lunacy

there’s a green cheese moon
high above a flat earth…cows
and cats with fiddles
