Under the Weeping Trees (a Limerick)

As many of you know, I am an appointed writer with the Coffee House Writers Magazine in the poetry section, and in the poetry group, we are given a monthly assignment on a different poem format. This month’s poetry classroom topic was to write a ‘Limerick’ … Below is the Limerick I presented for my July Assignment.

Under the Weeping Trees (a Limerick)

Resting here on my knees
Under the tall weeping trees
Waiting for my anxious mother
She’s out looking for my silly brother
He’s randy and went chasing the pretty fillies

The Cloud’s Tides Are Turning (a Tanka)






The Cloud’s Tides Are Turning (a Tanka)

Imperceptible
Is the waxen crescent moon
To the naked eye
In the wispy midday sky
Where the cloud’s tides are turning

Reflections (a Haiku)

Our walk path was covered in many shallow puddles and the daylight was sufficient for me to photograph some interesting reflections on the ground and in the sky …






Reflections (a Haiku)


Nature’s reflections

Shades of daylight everywhere

Kissing everything
