when the haiku is ready
the poet will come

'Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.'

On Annie Dillard's birthday, her abiding wisdom on creativity and what it takes to be a writer themarginalian.org/2016/03/28/ann…

Be my safe harbour now
The perilous waters rise inside
Comfort me in embrace
I clasp tightly to the sight of your face
Breathe with me slow
Lay with me where winds wont blow
Hold my hands so I cant let go
Caress me to edges of earth
Till safetys found in a new rebirth

sunset on my face
a few more moments
and I will leave
#haiku

silver oaks
jacaranda trees
feathers fall
life stalls
resplendent ocean
filled with diamonds
bit of self glory
whole lot of love
year of #rebirth
that’s the story

Write a #sixwordstory or a #poem about this picture.

Play with me
Stay with me
Please, don’t go away
I want to count daisies,
Laugh and enquire
If he loves me or not, Maisey
On this breeze-blown sunny day

Dark truth-
White lies
#Rebirth .
Old wounds
wrapped in new silk.

I lay down and let the world wash over me.
I slowly sink backwards into the abyss.
Losing all time and identity.
A faint voice offers #Rebirth .
I reach out towards the only bright light I see.
Hope.
I grasp it and keep it close.
We'll be reborn together.

drifting off the path
a few steps among flowers
distant temple bells

blossoms vibrating
the purpose of life’s music
delightfully clear

love’s only meaning
is a bee’s meandering
between the flowers

Driven
To never settle
My internal critic
Never rests
Always pushing me forward
To do my very best

At times
Tiresome and bothersome
Internal work is never done

Epiphanies
Transformations
Rebirth & change
Awaken to a better version
Embracing every step

I may
Encounter
Dead
Bodies,
More
Than I
Would
Like,
Every
One
Has
Been a
Story,
Mark
They
Left
Behind!

Are we in the future now?

Sands of Time

Dragons of regret slay what might have been
A metaphor caught within our lost mythology
Messages from our deep whisper like clockwork
Each look we gift opens windows to what will be.

Chani steals your heart as Dylan explains why
Ruthless empires sleep with the

walk
through
the numbness
of the ice
and in
the walls
of complete
silence
feel the beating
of your heart
as pain
reminds
you that
the beauty
of this
life is made
clear by
the tears
and when
the warmth
finds you
breathe it
in deep
so the healing
of the smiles
will last longer

a sensation felt
pages turning in my hands
a breath of your hope

#haiku #micropoetry

hungry
dragon fire
in the belly
growling
for a puzzle
mundane days
lead to
maleficence
too much time
on our hands
winging it with
an esoteric smile
mirror catches
a glimpse of
something
beginning
to search
for serendipity
at the footsteps
once every century
like clockwork

I feel for the birds outdoors.

Keeping bird water in a bowl on your balcony in shaded areas may help.

He smiled and said, “ Love looks ravishing on your cheeks.”
looking at the roseate that reflected
when he held her hand.
In that moment, love had a #rebirth ,
an incarnation.
She committed to their forever in silence and smile.

We dream of the daffodils
that bloomed yesterday
and remember what Emerson said
about flowers:

“The earth laughs in flowers.”
