Crisp, fresh autumn air
Inhaling the seasons change
Stirs old memories
I substituted “inhaling” and “fresh” for the given prompt words.
Writing
#Haiku Horizons Challenge – Row
From spring through winter
A natural progression
Adjusting seasons
I replaced “row” with “progression” for this challenge.
Celebrate and Watch #Tanka
Crispness in the air
Telltale sign of change is here
Loved ones gathering
Celebrating together
Watching holiday countdown
Inspired by Colleen’s weekly Tanka challenge.
Water #Haiku
water splashes on
singing the song of nature
the life blood of all
Linked to the prompt “music” from Poets on the Page.
Chapel and Autumn #Tanka
Browsing my blog feed I found a few tanka this week that were beautifully written for the prompt words autumn and chapel. Though I haven’t participated in this new-to-me challenge, the words inspired me to give it a go.
autumn colors peak
horizon’s vivid splendor
behind the chapel
old oak tree reaches upward
touching Heaven so slightly
Life’s Pace #Haiku
Life is a journey
Too many race their way through
Slow the pace enjoy
Linked to Ronovan’s weekly haiku prompt.
Trick #Haiku
The weather has been abnormally warm here of late. I image that will change soon enough.
Summer like weather
Warm sunny cloud free skies
Trick us – cold comes soon
Haiku Horizons weekly prompt seemed very appropriated given the above – and that Trick or Treat just passed! 🙂
#Tanka Challenge Wind and Grace
Wind sweeps through valleys
Clearing the trees of color
Emptiness abounds
My heart void of what I need
Your grace fills my thirsty soul
Linked to Colleen’s weekly tanka challenge.
Eternal #OctPoWriMo
Today wraps up 31 poems in 31 days, or OctPoWriMo. It has been a fun event, getting me back to writing again, and a bit of a challenge, too, as I reckon it should be. It is hard to say how well I’ll do after this month; the holidays and all are upon us and I tend to fall out of the writing-mode. Maybe this year will be different!
Come drink
Living waters
Whosoever desires
Eternal life freely given
By faith
Simplicity #OctPoWriMo
Cup of Joe
Morning newspaper
Enjoying sunny weather
Just us together
Simple life
Written for OctPoWriMo day 30, using a 3-5-7-5-3 syllable structure.
