the consummate elegance
of the wielded bow,
low tears wrenched from moistened eyes,
released by the cello’s mood.

Heeding Haiku With Chèvrefeuille, November 6th 2019, Halloween
Pumpkins and candles
coax loud screams from the children
on Eve of all Hallows

From stagnant waters
tendrils of vapour carry
the howl of the loon
Colleen’s 2019 Weekly #Tanka Tuesday #Poetry Challenge No. 151 #SynonymsOnly Dig & grave ~Time is no healer
On sombre faces
tears plough lines on blackened cheeks
coffins fill the thoughts.
Echoes of playground laughter
in the minds of Aberfan

As a river flows
following a path unknown,
nature takes it’s course

Heeding Haiku With Chèvrefeuille, October 23rd
Morning mists massage
pebbles released from slumber,
frenzied, foam-tipped waves.

Mist tendrils, as smoke
over dark, placid water,
silver-flanked fish roll.

Heeding Haiku With Chèvrefeuille, October 16th 2019, leaves are falling
The flowers of youth
losing their grip on splendour
butterflies descend

Unfilled
a void, in life,
in mind, then unprovoked
memories once imagined lost,
reborn
