Mosaic Monday #181: A Bigger Boat

AND

 Haibun Monday 6-20-22: Solstice

Rainy season; there is the thunder. the lightning. the flooding. The overcast clouds eventually give way to brighter skies.

Some mornings a red sky will morph into grey into mild blue. Activity never ceasing always wonderous. Who can control the weather.

rainbow fading -

awesome enough to make me

stand still and watch

“All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain” - Roy Batty, Blade Runner

What the rain does

It washes sky

Lashes leaves at the nodes

Leaving like tears drops on blades

What the rain does

Is empty of clouds

Groaning in thunder

Sparking in lightning

What the rain does

Is tug at the heartstrings

Knowing that the flood

Of tears will not heal only soothe

But life continues

To the auger of the rains

Even if it be forty day or nights

When a sprig in a beak hails

A new form

Then all the moments

Will be lost in time, 

Like tears in rain

Today's mosaic - Highlighting Shadows [photos from my archive, all photos taken in St James Trinidad]

If you don't have any shadows 

You're not in the light

--Lady Gaga

If you face the light

Shadows will always be 

behind you

Mosaic Monday #180: Sweat, Tears or the Sea

AND

Quadrille #154: Casting a Poetic Spell

ALL EXCEPT SHE

Ready for the spelling bee

Her wings stuck tight

Her eyes bright

Her mind clear

Oh Dear

Where can her words be

Her team mates not nervous

They need be verbous

The contest starts now

All except...

Oh where 

Oh where

Can she be

Open Link Night #318, June Live Edition

934

[Peder Severin Krøyer, Hip, Hip, Hurrah courtesy dVerse]

 BIRTHDAYS THAT WAY

Hip hip hurrah, the way birthdays appear

There again and again

Repeatedly like a cheer

Sometimes boisterous some times tame

Come raise a glass,  the way birthdays appear

Sneaking in with face lines

And bodies shaped like pear

With streamers and buntings

And friends ever so dear

To eat cake in slices

Circles around the sun, the way birthdays appear

wild fowl haven,

sunlight slithers over the water.

 to browse her weight in hyacinths,

 the lazy caiman rolls her eyes,

 just above the surface of the water,

 munching her greed water fodder,

oblivious to duck ponds and audience stares.

what a sleepy dreamy life.
