dream state revolving
stream of consciousness pours forth
darkness evolving
moonlight evolving
streams towards darkest shadows
lighting autumn nights

Sunsets – Haiku
another sunset
waves, beneath rose coloured sky
footsteps washed away
sun sets on summer
reflected sea to sky, fall
waves upon the shore

SenHai Saturday #18
Susi Bock provides an image and asks us to create one senryu and one haiku to accompany this image prompt. Remember that a traditional haiku describes nature or a season, while a senryu focuses on human nature and emotions.
Autumn Winds
soul bared at deaths door
darkness mushrooms, gauntlet formed
peace sought in the light
branches bared of leaves
scattered, canopy exposed
autumn winds blow deep

The Skeptic’s Kaddish W3 Prompt # 173 is given to us by the Poet of the Week, A.J. Wilson. She asks us to write an ekphrastic poem—a poem inspired by a work of art. Ange has selected two masterpieces to spark our creativity. I chose Georgia O'Keeffe's Abstraction Blue. As we craft our pieces, we are required to incorporate the word “blue.”
Aberdeen, Scotland
Aberdeen, Scotland is known as the Granite City. Some say, it is a bleak, grey place. But, on a sunny day the buildings twinkle a silvery gleam, and one can't help but feel their step much lighter. On a typical day, the North Sea is often in a foggy haze, setting a mood of somber reflection.

W3 Prompt #155: Poet of the Week, Ooko Tonny, asks us to write a poem that gives voice to what is usually left unsaid — a buried truth, a silenced voice, a hidden struggle, or the quiet ache of the heart. Let your words speak for what the world tends to overlook: an internal conflict, a marginalized experience, a truth tucked between breaths.
