tanka – Page 7 – One Woman's Quest

Connectivity

City life, blinding –
isolated cells of artificial
illumination,
ignoring a higher plan –
heaven’s connectivity.

(Written for Willow Poetry’s What Do You See? prompt which is the featured image.)

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.)

Refocus

Much is possible –
seek it all, but remember
to adjust focus –
look beyond the imminent
to find the greatest treasure.

(Written for RonovanWrites Haiku Challenge: find & seek)

Irrational

Past, present, future
time sequentially frozen –
logic holds no sway
when fear and emotions rear,
exist despite boundaries.

(A tanka for Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge – exist/today. Also linking up with Manic Mondays 3 Way Challenge – frozen.)

Ancient Mysteries

Ancestral circles
steeped in lore – symbolism
lost, and imminent –
Geometric rhythms play
with destiny, ascribe fates.
