Tuning the strings
but my mind
is still off key
#juroku #micropoetry #tanshi #3lines
Shards of glass
scattered on the floor
Broken promises
that can never
be remade
#5lines #tanka #tanshi #Micropoetry
The dream
where I fear of falling
Day by day
I deal with the aftermath
of bereavement
#5lines #micropoetry #tanka #tanshi
A small wooden bridge
across the stream
Lives walk over it
Time flows
beneath it
#5lines #tanka #micropoetry #tanshi
if I follow my heart
instead of my head
every path
will leave me wondering
What if ?

Winter stillness -
the evening sun
sparkles on the river

Andrew
formerly known as Prince
partied like it was 1999
and now the purple reign
has been washed away
#5lines #tanka #micropoetry #tanshi
political corruption
sewers overflow
by heavy rain
#juroku #tanshi #micropoetry #3lines
throwing a pebble into the pond -
I turn and walk away.
#juroku #micropoetry #tanshi
Feathers in the wind-
all the words
you can never take back
#juroku #micropoetry #tanshi #3lines
A child’s eye
peering into
the telescope -
travelling
the Milky Way.

all games come to an end
birthday after birthday
the clock counts down
#juroku #micropoetry #tanshi #3lines
Dark mood in government -
Storm clouds gather
above Downing Street
#juroku #micropoetry #tanshi #3lines
Fallen scarecrow -
In a neighbouring field
A murder of crows
#juroku #tanshi #micropoetry #3lines
constant rain -
the grief that never ends
#juroku #tanshi #micropoetry #2lines
Day by day by day by day
the same key unlocks
the office door
#juroku #tanshi #micropoetry #3lines
Raven on the wind-
A black stitch on a grey fabric.
#juroku #micropoetry #tanshi #2lines
A raven's call above the forest -
Did it wake up the old god?
#juroku #micropoetry #tanshi #2lines
Waves flow in
The sea flows out
Here I am, the driftwood of life
#juroku #tanshi #micropoetry #3lines
Flower petals
on the river's face -
Misery flows downstream
#juroku #tanshi #micropoetry #3lines
Presidential arrogance _
Toys out of the cot
as missiles fall
#juroku #micropoetry #tanshi #3lines
Frosty morning
I try to remember
the night before
#juroku #tanshi #micropoetry
cold winter rain-
somewhere deep within
a memory stirs

bleeding out,
aid refused:
they hid behind their masks
