Tanka Tuesday2


seen as a trick of scarecrows
appearing alive
standing in rusty corn stalks
enjoying soul cakes

SYW 10-31-23

Here are this week’s questions (which are nothing to do with Halloween):
- Do you have carpets, rugs, laminating flooring, tiles, or wooden floors (or something else) in your property I have a laminated floor with carpet in the bedroom only in my apartment. With the wheelchair I wish there was no carpet at all.
- Do you have a bathtub and separate shower, or a combination of the two? I have an open shower with a bench to sit on.
- What is your favourite room of the house, and why? I guess the living room.
- How many televisions do you have? One.
Gratitude: I am grateful to have had a wonderful time yesterday with family, played a new game, and watched my 17 month old great granddaughter tear out a few dvd cases😂. Luckily I had kept a box of sticky plastic blocks out of storage.

It’s easy to fall
Let yourself go
Fall for the easy smile, twinkling eyes,
Delve into the delights of desire—
feelings long held back.
It’s not easy to fall head first
When the heart rules
And the body craves
Touch, and brush of lips.
Tanka Tuesday


scurrying across pavement
escaping dew chill
lying beneath grassy frost
a little cold mist plays there

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt

I even tried to meditate
It out of my system, even debate
With myself of course
Till I’m hoarse
Why is there so much hate?
Who wouldn’t want to separate
Themselves from things that don’t equate
With love and harmony
And suffer most lonely
I can’t relate
Of age I’m late
Don’t remember such fates
Or hateful traits—
oh, wait
I do.
