Redux
breathless whispers
heard by none
uttered by all
watch us dance
dream weaver

Keeping Busy
Inspired by What do you see #335
music, writing, crafts
the arts give us sanity
life, a to-do list
And Yet Again…
i’m rattled in this current space
my body spilling over with red rage
the crash proved fatal
you lurked in the shadows
another slip-up
another flicker of dishonesty
i was ravenous for connection
but found only deceit
this time, i feel no shame
we were already fragile like glass
your apologies and regurgitated guilt
ring hollow
SenHai Saturday #46

Please create one senryu and one haiku to accompany this image prompt. Remember that traditional American haikus and senryus are three lines presented in a 5-7-5 syllabic pattern. The haiku describes nature or a season, and the senryu focuses on human nature and emotions.

How Far We’ve Come
Inspired by What do you see #334
eyes have always
searched new horizons
blood, sweat, and tears shed
hard labor and determination
won us exciting discoveries
now at our fingertips
answers and explorations
are child’s play
Therapeutic Escape
It rumbles in my head as I walk guiltily like the filthy creature I feel I am, nothing but a lowly criminal. I feel lower than the dirt I walk on after the visit with the shrink. My mind is a dark place right now; shockingly, she dares to enter the space where I know my aberrant thinking gets me in trouble. What lives, no, exists in this space is a deep black hole on occasion. I welcome lighter thoughts, but my innards drag me down at the moment. Sometimes it really hurts to roam the world as a writer.

A monster rises
yawing as the blizzard blows
my only way home
rising from the fog
drunken ramshackle bridge sways
trying to stand tall
