Modern Remedy

Live-streamed chaos
warps social norms – mindfulness,
art of Zen – balance.

(For RonovanWrites Weekly Haiku Challenge: zen/ chaos.)

Personas

Defining self – pride
fighting for recognition –
so many profiles.

(Written for RonovanWrites Haiku Challenge: pride & fight, and Reena’s Exploration challenge: featured image (art by Tolga Girgin)).

To Catch a Sunset

Mosquitoes favour
river banks – hopefully hate
repellent, free me
to linger as dusk settles
catch that last flash of colour.

(For RonovanWrites Haiku Challenge: detest/ favour)

Promised

What life tears apart
nature mends – cyclical flow,
divinely decreed.

(For RonovanWrites Weekly Haiku Challenge: rip/mend)

Junkyard

Vestiges of dreams
swiftly disappear, shift lanes –
ambition rusted.

(For RonovanWrites #Weekly #Haiku #Challenge: fast & lane)

Late Afternoon Sun

Fragmented dazzle
alters scene – serene moment
rendered tenuous.

(Haiku written for RonovanWrites Weekly Haiku Challenge: serene/scene. Also inspired by the prompts of Ragtag Community: dazzle, and Fandango: tenuous. Image from personal collection.))

Disconnect

Narrow passages,
spiritual spires set bar –
minded not teachings,
constraint of hypocrisy
oppressed connection to God.

(Written in response to Willow Poetry’s “What Do You See?” challenge, with the promptings of Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge: narrow/ minded.)

Revelation

No sound, no movement
the bullfrog obliges lens –
I am conqueror,
superior – then espy
miniscule me in his eye.

(A tanka for Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Challenge: sound/ motion. Image from personal collection. I am pondering the unanswerable this week, and I think this poem fits – conjures questions about where we all fit within this universe.)

Nonchalant

Duck’s disposition
I admire – to glide, sail
through rainy weather.

(For Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku challenge: swim & float. Image from personal collection.)

Turmoil

Fierce the gathering
clouds laden, heavy – my heart
echoing the storm.

(For Ronovan Writes Haiku challenge: fierce & storm)
