I Scare Myself







Shadorma

i scare me
so you should be scared
a little
most do fear
the unknown and the untried
some are just reckless

Morris Dancers






some blokes meet up
for a beer and a chat
these chaps do it differently
one could say that

stranger than  fiction
perhaps
yes
perhaps

a morris dancer's hat
is rather genteel
somehow or other
these poms look surreal

with their flowers and posies
straw hats  and big feet
yet overall really
they all seem quite sweet

Saana Rizvi
Prompt Nights
Truth is Stranger Than Fiction

Elephant In The Room




i confronted the elephant
in the room
it pretended it was not there
so i climbed up on its gnarly back
and it took off running scared

Whispering Air On The G String



God's whispering again
through his chosen voice
Johann Sebastian Bach

Listen
Fly
Every heart has wings

Identity

"I am not one and simple,but complex and many." Virginia Woolf

unsteady
tearful
abrasive
volatile
surreal
hands on
hands dirty
a mixed brew
steeped
in high culture
a politically incorrect
boho chick
inhabitor of the outback
and harbourside concurrently
a swimmer
swimming in theology and
the gentle arts
a vermeer gone wrong


Dorothee Golz

Midweek Motif PU

Summer



where the gold meets blue
a wide smile across the sky
glorious summer

Carpe Diem Haiku Kai

Ah !that sweet scent
memories making my heart cry
grandma's stewed pears

Chevrefeuille




she loved to crochet
one of her few joys - she gave
so much of herself

dear sweet  nana
we took it all for granted
a familiar story
