Sun and Moon in Competition

Haiku, Life balance, Poetry | Posted by MeeAugraphie
Sep 19 2009

This morning Moon demanded attention – and these two haiku were tweeted:

Naked words streak night
sun rays bound by night’s shackles
moon plays demur role

~~~

Naked sun sulks as
horizon draws moon to bed
misses cue to rise

so, the phrase exhausted sun demanded airtime…

Hurricanes call strike
sun picks up slack in weather
overtime exhausts

~~~

Exhausted by sun
summer sought autumn’s embrace
night drew shades on day

~~~

Exhausting summer,
sun sought reprieve in autumn
’til Alaska called

~~~

Fall gets all glory
sun’s hours shortened in exchange
sun cut deal with fall

~~~

Autumn strikes deal
exhausted sun gets comp time
stars get top billing

and moon took control again

Sun’s workload lessened
in lieu of sabbatical
moonlight’s covert plan

rock smoothed by ocean
held in hands ravaged by age
sands of time reversed

Life, Silenced

Life Silenced

laughter once heard, sought
in nooks, crannies, fissures of
heart and mind, unfound

05 of 30, April 2009 Prompt: Poefusion

Poefusion: Michelle’s prompt today:

“Write about a noise-
or a silence-
that won’t go away.”

She has given us such a wide range today… was hard to decide which noise or silence… This prompt bears revisiting another day as well. Join in?

Stranded Thoughts – One Single Impression (multiplied)

Fib, Haiku, Life balance, Ons Single Impression, Poetry | Posted by MeeAugraphie
Apr 06 2008

One Single Impression left us stranded this week – not. I have a feeling there will be many stranded thoughts evoked. Mine were:

Haiku:

Stranded whale flounders
turtle seeks destruction’s light
human plays hero

Fib:

She
stood,
unable
to remain stranded
by own stubborn streak’s closed mind.

Increasing Syllables, One thru seven:

Left
Stranded
by her muse
she looked at nature
through her inner child’s eyes
and found seven wonders more.

Acronym

Stuck alone in mind’s island,
Traffic stalled
Refuse blocks thought’s forming as
Acrid tears flow unchecked
No one to hear your
Darkness falling as
Escalated fears
Defy logical plan of action

Un-punctuated Thought

Night closed in to smother hope as moon hid behind clouds and owls hooted to break silence’s stranglehold on nerves for needle read as empty as stomach as empty as a heart never filled as empty as the road to nowhere in a Saturday night flick watched sans another human being on a teenager’s prom night

Kindness – One Single Impression

Haiku, Ons Single Impression, Poetry | Posted by MeeAugraphie
Mar 11 2008

One Single Impression chose kindness as their prompt for us this week. The examples given this week were awesome.

I could not decide whether to use one hand or kindness, so I wrote it both ways in order thought.

One hand extended
heat of emotion lessens
warmth bursts forth in bloom

–or–

Kindness extended
heat of emotion lessens
warmth bursts forth in bloom

I think I prefer “one hand”… What do you think?
