Secrets (a tanka)

Keeping locked within

one's most precious desires;

waiting to reveal

these dear wishes to others,

unsure how they will react.

Lost (a cinquain)

No word,

no quick phone call;

invisible to me

while going off to find herself.

What now?

Guidance (a cinquain)

Guide me

in my journey,

traveling the new path

so that I may always gain new

insight.

Last Night (a cinquain)

Many

voices shouted

for change. Their desired

wishes were granted that fateful

evening.

Dance (a haiku)

Move to the rhythm

of life, swaying to every beat

with determined steps.

Threads of Life (a haibun)

As she begins her next crochet project, she thinks about how each turn of the thread mirrors a bond she has in her life. Each person, each event, represents a strand of thread. Some strands are as smooth as certain paths in life journeys take. Sometimes these strands get caught on the hook and tangle, as some life events hit unexpected blocks. Sometimes these snags take some time to heal. Ultimately, with time and patience, what you wish to accomplish will come into being; that timely project, that long-awaited goal. The achievement may contain the snags and pulls of previous complications, yet that is evidence of a roadblock accomplished, a setback overcome. The completed project mirrors all the bonds and links we share in life; the struggles and surprises we encounter, and the satisfaction on the end result.

Thread tells a story

with each loop and chain. A grand

tapestry is made.

Family (a cinquain)

Family;

different, connected.

Relaxing, giving, bonding.

Together for Father's Day.

Memorable.
