Load – a Haiku

burdens we carry
for sake of obligation
forsake what matters

Ruin

hope swells defiant

‘midst a tyrant’s oppression

ashes to embers

Remember Me Now

it’s not flattery
but acknowledgement
rouses our spirits,
yet we save for eulogies,
lauds the dead will never hear

~kat

For Colleen Chesebro’s Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge using synonyms only for the prompt words praise (flattery, acknowledgement, eulogies, lauds) and excite (rouses).


Daily Lune #12

eyes deep as pools
watching me
moist breath on my face

~kat

I almost wrote about the rain…again. Yes, it’s still raining. But Merlin wasn’t having it. Today, as in most days, it is all about him. But I must say, he’s a lovely diversion.


Magnetic Poetry Monday

A bit belated…but here it is.

there is no sanctuary
here for the meek,
the pure of heart
wanderers who need
rest…please don’t
come here, we can’t
save you
