Guiding The Way
(a Tanka)


The show is over

Lowercase open mic night 

Now I am waiting 

Below a bright crescent moon

For the very last bus home

Throwback Friday, Lost Horizon (a Tanka)

Today’s Throwback Friday poem is a follow-up to my Horizon/twilight poem/Tanka that I posted yesterday






Lost Horizon (a Tanka)


Running out of time

Inside today’s Twilight Zone

Drifting and alone

Searching for the pathway home

Beneath a lost horizon

Is There Peace On the Horizon? (a Tanka)

Over at Weekly Prompts, the Wednesday Challenge is: Sunset … you may visit their fabulous site by clicking on >> Here.
My poem is about “Twilight”, just after Sunset.





Is There Peace On the Horizon?
(a Tanka)


The pink twilight sky

And the bluestone clouds unite 

At the horizon 

Nature’s colours interact

Without fighting for the light
