cascading waters
break around the river stones
new destiny forged

ancient stones guarding the night
keeping nightmares at bay

fly like an eagle
as free as a bird in the sky
be a dreamcatcher

a brand new world awaits you
red, white, and liberty blue

Open Heart Lune
open heart cradles
the entire world
rock gently
Going back to the La Lune for for dVerse and which kind of a variation on haiku for Carpe Diem.

Porch
On hot summer days
Humidity haze
Outside
Escaping sun's rays
Country music plays
Inside
Back porch cabernets
Steak, cole-slaw, and maize
Supplied
pungent thunder
sweeping me from the porch
sirens call foul

Blush

in the stillness
between the arrival of guests
the peonies (Buson)
gossiping of love affairs
blush at the sordid details (zennjennc)

A haiku for haiku friday and haiku heights and a tan renga for Carpe Diem. If you read them together you can tell I've been watching too much of the Syfy show Defiance, but that's not what I intended when I wrote them. ;)

Haiku: Writing Courage (trio)
Only frowns dispayed
Punished for revealing
The insiders view
Excitement faded
Measured not by my talents
My words locked away
More than ten years pass
Ink and quills gathering dust
Until courage shines

Haiku trio shared with dVerse Open Link Night and Haiku Heights #263 - Measure.

A to Z Poetry: ZaniLa Rhyme
A ZaniLa Rhyme consists 4 lines per stanza with a rhyme scheme of abcb and a syllable count of 9/7/9/9 per stanza. Line 3 contains internal rhyme and is repeated in each odd numbered stanza with the even stanzas contain the same line but swapped at the internal rhyme.
The ZaniLa Rhyme has a minimum of 3 stanzas; no maximum length.
So we come to the end of the line
Honey in my tea
Swirls of green and amber
Tastes so sweet
So we come to the end of the line
As you can clearly see
No need to rhyme, No need to keep time
In learning poetry A to Z
Poetry from worldly to divine
Make up the poets’ soul plea
No need to keep time, No need to rhyme
From the mountain tops down to the sea
As the dawn's sun fades the stars that shine
Our learning ends, I decree
No need to rhyme, No need to keep time
Read and enjoy A Full Cup of Tea
