To wear a crown of roses,
Is a fragrant thing.
Others sigh at its beauty,
But do not feel the thorns.
Time makes its petals drop,
The perfume is no more.
Exposed are the wounds,
Sore lesions, deep scratches.
Lay it down you fool.
For the dVerse quadrille #141 ‘Crown’ check it out here.
Loss overwhelms the soul.
A matriarch ageing,
A patriarch gone,
Sanctuary eroding.
How relentless is time.
Tearing at stability.
Can hope be found,
In amongst the rubble?
Rapidly coursing
Precipice reached pause then plunge
Rock strewn roaring crash
A haiku for Ronovans challenge plunge and rapid are the key words. This evokes memories of waterfalls.
A host of green buds
Potential beauty cocooned
Heralding summer
Time is close for bursting forth
Petals of white purity
For Tuesday Tanka challenge – a flower that has meaning to me is my clematis – when it’s ripe with buds it tells me summer is not far away.
Pervading sadness
Not thrilling but compelling
Way easily lost
Comforting melancholy
Erodes will spends energy
For Ronovans Monday challenge where key words are sad and thrill.
Weariness gives way
Simple tiredness holds sway
Dissipating stress
Shoulders draw away from neck
Jaw releases it’s tight grip
For Tanka Tuesday
Demure bud opens
Spring evening sun envelops
Delicate petals
Virtually spent
Clouds part allowing sun’s warmth
To lift weary soul
Exhausted soul aches
Unabated suffering
No offer of ease
For Ronovans weekly haiku challenge, words this week are -yes you guessed it…Ease and Ache!
Let me speak of the wonderful,
Linkages and interactions.
Those that bring joyous distractions.
Whose company I am grateful.
Their constancy always thoughtful.
Of course I speak of friends not foes,
And dear family who did sow;
A love that grows and will not rot.
I am entwined in bless’ed knots,
I will not cut, yes this I know!
For the Ronovan Decima challenge – this week the prompt is knot.
