Let’s write a Rengay

Create the haikus today

Then we add two more

A Tanka is created

Joy when we work together

A Silent Reverie

—————————————————

All my revere

Is not to be heard or seen

Within the sadness

In the silence, I still feel

Emotions concealed tightly

—————————————————-

Moonlight wash o’er me

Dancing in your light I’m free

Brightness felt and seen

In the night, I feel serene

Underneath the stars so bright

Names on My Mind

Special thanks to my collaborator on this Rengay, Anthony
https://empathmuch.wordpress.com/

—————————————————-

John, Joan, or a Jane
Willy, Walter, or a Wayne
Some names on my brain
Thinking hard to ascertain
Searching for a name to gain

Gained Insight

Special thanks to my collaborator on this Rengay, Anthony

—————————————————-

Parched in the desert

Spend a fortune for a drink

Of cold crisp water.

Gain insight of the unknown

but it was deep inside you

Share your Secrets

Share all your secrets

Only with the worthy ones

Or you’ll waste your breath

Trust in those who truly care

For they’ll keep your secrets safe

Thriving

Special thanks to my collaborator on this Rengay, Anthony

—————————————————-

Do more than survive

Embrace the fact you’re alive

Nothing to contrive.

Work hard to thrive, and show your

naysayers that they were wrong

Your Own Beat

Special thanks to my collaborator on this Rengay, Anthony

Dance to your own beat

Be yourself to all you meet

Here or in the street

Do not take a seat, let life

Guide you to your destiny

Spirits

Spirits lift us up

Or they will tear us all down

Be ever cautious

You might end up facedown,

Choose wisely, my friend, choose well…

Wasting

Special thanks to my collaborator on this Rengay, Anthony
https://empathmuch.wordpress.com/

————-

Talons grab at me

Razor sharp ripping my flesh

What of me is left?

How much more can I give, till

I waste away to nothing???

Trust and Honesty

Special thanks to my collaborator on this Rengay, Anthony
https://empathmuch.wordpress.com

——————————

Trust, never taken

Instead, it’s given freely

Shared among us all

Be cautious; don’t do something

That will make them not trust you…

Dancing Sprites

Special thanks to my collaborator on this Rengay, Anthony
https://empathmuch.wordpress.com

Dancing sprites abound

All basking in blinding light

Making day of night

Show the way for those in need

Let them guide you to greatness…

Three Things Challenge #M828

TOOTH
MOLAR
INCISOR

A molar strong, firm
Chewing through tough, fibrous food
Incisor sharp, keen
Biting into life’s delights
Teeth, nature’s tools, serve us well

Poetry

Love Will Always Win

Hate will never win

As love undoes all its sins

Knowing that, we grin

Together we will begin

In our hearts, love grows within…

Mid Afternoon Darkness

————————————-

The thunderclaps roll

A sky is dark, like midnight

Only its noontime

Beware, a storm is brewing

Take precautions and keep safe…
