open for the light
allowing touch of shoulders
shadows witnessing
there’s much to be seen and known
there’s more to be kept and held

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

Today is really a combination of haiku and senryu, so take your pick.
This is in response to the IWH Haiku/Senryu Challenge

Breaking the Rules
Breaking the Rules
smack dab in the face
taking a chance with nature
change rules as you will
What if? Art is waiting to whisper in your ear–It Could Be Your Muse

Stolen: One Heart
Stolen: One Heart
Not being the type
to take anything
not mine
I was surprised
when it happened to me
Stolen:
one perfectly functioning heart
blood pumping
veins working
body moving
but
one heart stolen
Who knew
when a person takes a walk
or writes a story
or reads a book
their heart can be taken
In this case
innocently stricken
I lost my heart
but the weird thing is
it was all my fault
Vulnerable and needing
love’s warm feels
my heart was stolen
only to be healed
Take it again
and again
it’s yours
forever

Today, I decided to combine my prompts. Here is my poem of the day for National Poetry Month and my Six Sentence Story. Who says you can’t play with the rules? I guess you can say I stole them and made them my own.
My daily poetry prompt came from Robert Lee Brewer’s Poetic Asides Blog: “For today’s prompt, write a stolen poem. And no, don’t steal anyone’s poem! But you can write about doing such a thing. Or stealing hearts, stealing time, stealing minds. Or steeling your mind (remember: I don’t care if you play on my original prompt). Steal away into a comfortable place to write and break some lines today.”
The other prompt comes from Girlie on The Edge’s Six Sentence Story Blog
“Rules of the hop:
Write 6 Sentences. No more. No less.
Use the current week’s prompt word.
Come back here on Thursday, link your post…
Spread the word and put in a good one to your fellow writers 🙂
PROMPT WORD: TYPE”
