haiku – Page 6 – One Woman's Quest

Seeker

Travel is the ask,
so many questions – answers
just fragments of truth.

(Seeker first appeared here January of 2109. I resubmit it here for Reena’s Exploration Challenge #143: featured image.)

Glimmer

Midwinter light breaks
monotony of grey – tree
dances in glimmer.

(For Eugi’s Causerie weekly prompt: glimmer. Image from personal collection.)

ME/CFS

These words illusion
portray vibrancy of life
belie the mundane
wicked exhaustion my truth
drudgery daily routine.

(For Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Challenge: wicked/ mundane; and BrewNSpew’s prompt: illusion. Forgive me for indulging in a moment of self-pity. Post celebration crash normal. Image from personal collection.)

Growth Is Not Placid

Pastoral placid,
tonic for the soul – beware
stagnation, partake
in daring, honour spirit’s
longing for the wild; grow wings.

(For RonovanWrites Weekly Haiku Challenge: placid/wild; and for BrewNSpew’s prompt: partake. Image from personal collection.)

The Heart Remembers

Memories shift, haze
like grains of sand dispersing –
sentiments heart set.

(For RonovanWrites Weekly Haiku Challenge: haze/sand. Image from personal collection.)

Punishing Winter

Ruthless Winter blows
unceremoniously
intense – leaves a mess.

(For RonovanWrites Weekly Haiku Challenge: mess/intense; and for BrewNSpew’s weekly prompt: ceremony. Image from personal collection.)

Envy’s Folly

Valley envies peak
begrudges fabled riches
ignores present wealth.

(For RonovanWrites Weekly Haiku Challenge: valley/ peak. Also submitting to BrewNSpew’s challenge: fable.)

Ugly Duckling Learns

From Nature, instinct,
intuition – confidence
of nurture derived.

(For RonovanWrites Weekly Haiku Challenge: nature/nurture. Also linking up with BrewNSpew’s weekly challenge: folklore. The Ugly Duckling is a fairytale from my childhood. Image from personal collection.)

Wonderland

Winter winds howl,
icy vapours penetrate,
enchanting season.

(For RonovanWrites Weekly Haiku Challenge: vapour / howl; and BrewNSpew’s Cafe prompt.)

October Walk

Romantic nature
paves the path with gold – river
adds sweet harmony.

(For RonovanWrites Weekly Haiku Challenge: river/ path. Image from personal collection.)
