What's Going On.....Rift

 CINQUAIN: SHADORMA: DOUBLE  TANKA 

a rift
broke us apart
can never be repaired
such things happen on occasion 
sadly

c'est la vie
life is full of froth
and bubble
rifts happen
there is no escaping it
yet life still goes on

we grieve for a while
but then we get over it
make ourselves forget
andre rieu helps with fun shows
i will survive he proclaims

me too i'll survive
music and poems are the keys
to my survival
spring is on its way leaving
winter blues and gloom behind

  1. I like your combination of forms--and then Rieu and "I will Survive"! Very helpful indeed.

  2. I Love how all the forms blended together exploring the theme. "music and poems are the keys / to my survival". True for us all, I guess, given the craziness of the world.

  3. "Music and poems are the keys to my survival." Me, too - plus nature. And dogs. Smiles.

  6. Yes, music and poems are the key! Along with reading books, taking walks! We all need to find ways to survive.
