haiku my heart, Poetry, tanka

30.can.this.be

brush against the edge
the sound of glitter falling
whirlwind the while
sweeping out the room revealed
surreptitious shifting sands

another delightful visit to rebecca’s haiku my heart
my last poem of napowrimo 2021… way past april but must complete a goal…

poet’s note: what a beautiful day… enjoying the sights and sounds of spring… i was thinking of dorothy’s song somewhere over the rainbow and alice in wonderland while writing this poem…. understanding the worlds around us and listening… we might run into alice’s white rabbit… or maybe the mad hatter

alliteration, Poetry

29.simpatico

casting a net
the water whirled
tiny round spinning swirls

hypnotizing heat
cool shade calm
life still listening

preparation prelude
dinner dancing delight
a two step tango

soft skin whispers
the smallest of hours magic
willow tree branches sway

juncture just ahead
leftovers singing blue
savoring our soliloquy

picking up strands
gleaming the outlawed
fine point favorite pen

tale telling
recollection riot writing
a  sigh surrenders the end

napowrimo day 29. inching toward day 30… though that was yesterday…

poet’s note: today is the 1st of May… a beautiful spring day… telling the tale written in words turning to see… the topics were ‘the process’ and ‘the meal’

22.stitching

meandering dreamer
a loome for the weaver
she smokes the green reefer
with her espresso and creamer

lives near Pasadena
just past the ol’ dry cleaner
dressed with a demeanor
but never with the cheater

corner selling healer
beware the believer
jesus christ the seeker
revival for the reaper

waiting makes her meaner
if you want to please her
bring only kosher wieners
call it misdemeanor

napowrimo day 22. dVerse anapestic tetrameter. another challenging form, hoping i came close to…. one has to get creative and have fun most of all and learn a new form.
