Haiku and senryu
One of these days I will get back to writing something other than haiku. Just not today.
Pain is good ~ pain is focus ~ pain is life
Prompt: search
Life, love, hope, dreams ~ the search is all we have; ~ along life's path.
His search for meaning ~ brought him to truth; ~ he found her.
Even at ~ the moment of finding ~ the search goes on
Prompt: bottle
The note slips in; ~ a bottle ~ filled with floating regret
Knock 'em down ~ But you remain; the last ~ bottle on my wall
Prompt: paint
Paint me a future ~ Every day fresh and clean; ~ With you.
Prompt: incognito, spirit, astound
Incognito heart ~ know no fear, my secret love; ~ spirit, hope astound.
Prompt: savour
A trickle of juice ~ from trembling lip to throat; ~ darting tongue savours.
This moment won't last ~ ephemeral, precious; ~ savour, cherish, feel.
These three were prompted by a challenge to use a cliché (from a list provided). I chose "beats me", "twist of fate" and "curiosity killed the cat".
Rain beats me, senseless, ~ battering soft and urgent; ~ creeping through my shell.
Fumbling fingers ~ unravel our twist of fate; ~ destiny unknown.
Curiosity ~ killed the cat; Shroedinger ~ wasn't so sure.
