I live in the city and work in an office from 8:39 am to 5:00 pm…or later…



…but my true place in this world can be found midst the trees and the misty hollows, near bubbling streams and on the shores of the sea. This is where I go to reconnect…

Reaching
how high is the sky
its bright cerulean dome dappled
with orbs, stars, and clouds
some dreamers spend
a lifetime trying to
crack its elusive ceiling

god
are you there
watching us make a mess
of your beautiful garden
of course, you’re not there
you’re here, image buried,
forgotten in crumbling clay
~kat

gaseous yellow dwarf
we count the hours, days by you
Helios, Sol, Ra

For Haiku Horizons Challenge, prompt word, ‘sun’.

I wonder what you’re thinking
grey, fluffy cat, looming,
eyes wide, black; tail twitching
could it be you’re plotting
your escape, or my demise
I know, I know…it’s dinner time

For Jane Dougherty’s May Daily Poetry Challenge “42”. This one is tricky. We start with a Cherita which is a short poem that tells a story. It consists of a one-line stanza, followed by a two-line stanza, and then finishing with a three-line stanza. Sounds easy, right? Jane added an extra challenge. For May’s Cherita? the first line asks a question or makes a statement that begs a question, the second stanza/two lines sets the scene or the background, the last stanza/three lines answers the question or resolves it in some way.
The hardest part for me was coming up with a question! Fortunately I live in a house full of animals. They are always doing things that make me wonder. One question down, 30 more to go. Maybe we’ll solve the mystery of the universe this month. Or maybe not. Thanks Jane. This one’s a challenge. And you know I love a good one. 🙂
