Fall Fever
Tag: life
Life in No Certain Order
Developing
carved from hard living
honed from trials and errors
solidified life
Observing
opening the eyes
being ever observant
thoughts deepen with time
Surviving
talons uprising
swooping the grounds for dear life
keeping a hard eye
…..

Stay Strong
even under stress
sands will hold force together
appearances skewed
Keep Hoping
erosion beckons
foundations shaking hold on
facing certain hope
Awareness Comes
tides will come and go
washing up the new and old
bringing forth new thoughts

Here’s what I came up with:
Looking at this, I decided to develop it into a more complete poem:
separate thinking
although different styles play
we all want something
Okay, it’s a senryu from the blackout poetry.
That’s what I have for this day 🙂
Here’s my space for working this morning:
