Beads Boys in a camp, running on dusty ground, with a ball made of 25 plastic bags. The news. The girl switches the channel to Chopin’s Berceuse. They have been sending drones. Only half of the house is …

Here I was, writing #haiku after haiku about the water hyacinths I first encountered in Kerala and immediately fell in love with. I now learn that they're considered 'invasive'.

the town reshaping
at the dictates of the river
becoming aware
of the subjectivity
in my epiphanies

Drowsy A dreamer’s alternative to Ambien

Opening with One Loose Strut

I’ve never thought of myself as
an unhappy writer,
but being asked to write
in a style that
isn’t mine
makes me restless—

Who should I be now?
Nora?

It just doesn’t reach
the sides of the mattress:
borrowed blankets,
no calls,
the volume of seagulls.

I have a braided #tankaprose incl. 6 #tanka which I would have loved to submit to the tanka prose contest by The Tanka Society of America. But I can't. The reason? 'A maximum of three tanka' are allowed. Rules! Ugh. #Rules should never stiffle innovation and good writing. Full stop.

Here's a #tankaprose that you can also read on my #blog as a whole, but I'll share it in snippets here, accompanied by the #tanka .

Part 9/9

Lakes, old stone walls line
the narrow country road—
I watch the landscapes,
every thing,
pass.

Cutting words
out of old mags
to make a mini book,
some poems to acknowledge
I know motivation.

Afternoon tea
with three plates
in time
I add more clotted cream
to my happiness.

The mug with the fox
and the round marks
next to the coaster,
am I missing
something?

A load of dishes
and the swoosh of the tea towel
deep in my skin
I think I can remember,
I really think I can.

the curtain walls—
a foreign country,
taking my breaths

I fish
in my hesitation
to say it out loud,
where is any easiness?

anything that is
tuning the chords

what to do with this
quiet question clouds my hands …

Here's a #tankabun #tankaprose . I've started doing blackout poetry years ago and hiding or finding poems within prose is a fun way to get creative! Here you have two hidden/"found" #tanka within, but you can read them together, too.

The Tomb’s Testimony Utter emptiness... The Galilean rabbi, whose preaching attracted multitudes, whose signs enthralled the masses, whose message comforted the afflicted & afflicted the comfortable, lies dead in a stone-cold tomb. As though it could be any other way I should know. Two righteous men placed him inside me. After he endured a travesty-of-a-trial by his co-religionist leaders. After that coward Pilate scourged him, then washed his hands of him.
