Frivolity

For TJ’s Household Haiku Challenge. Inspired by his photo of this 19th century porcelain potpourri vase. Prompt Words: Flower and Simply

simply scentless art
flowers of porcelain clay
untouched by seasons

Magnetic Poetry Saturday

there will always be
evil in this world
but there is more
to offset almost
every sinister force
and love…that too

to follow after or
wander alone…which
way is the path
to peace in a world
rooted in stone

time is eternity’s prisoner
we are born only
to grow old and die
remembered only
by lingering sadness

chocolate can be bitter
barely a day goes
by that I don’t
crave its sweetness
on my tongue

Magnetic Poetry


harvest ode

harvest ode

mirror mirror in the sky
truth’s reflection burning bright
stars align, emotions swell
some find comfort, others, hell

ours is not to run and hide
mirror mirror in the sky
call forth authenticity
shed the dross to set us free

mend our cold uncaring hearts
light our path when days grow dark
mirror mirror in the sky
tame our tongues when curses fly

heal our broken disconnects
all’s not lost; oh no, not yet
there’s still time to set things right
mirror mirror in the sky

Alchemy

inkwell alchemy
swirling into syllables
channeling the muse

Fall ~ Haiku

cool autumn breezes
fading leaves drift, falling
gently letting go

For Haiku Horizons Challenge, prompt word, fall.
