A Rainy Day

We splashed in puddles, danced in rain,
and laughed; though soaking wet, we knew
that come what may, each day's to live -
so seize the day, and don't be blue!

Rabbit Hole

She gazed into the rabbit hole
And screamed as severed hands appeared,
They twitched and grabbed and pulled her down;
The hands were kinder than she’d feared,
And helped her trim her hair and beard.

Premium Member Winter Rain

What fish feel,
birds feel, I don't know--
the year ending.
~Basho
Translated by Robert Hass

what does the fish feel
as it jumps upstream
into the bear's open jaw

winter rain
the river overflows it's bank
as the new year begins

Premium Member Birth of a Poem

Written by:Sara Kendrick

.
Out on the early morning porch
As dawn cracks on the horizon
Waiting inspiration for which ensearch
Look upon grass and weeds not gazon

Then rising sun touches earth
Crack of light that wakes cooing birds
At that moment a poem's birth
Page fills_ inspired poetic words

Matsuo Basho Haikus For Life

A morning spell 
freshly proposed  
comes quietly in 

yesterday's ambient air   
pushes out of the screen 
archaic puffs of stale   

what meanders out   
is the remnants of me  
before the crisis   

caught between  
hope and despair 
I take to daydreaming 

alone 
again 
in my bed

Write Away

by Ralph Taylor
Contest: Inspired

When I want to write and the urge is there,

there's one place I go, so I can prepare.
      
      It's a spot I know
    
      that makes the words flow

I just go sit, in my reclining chair.


I don't really know why, it happens that way.

Why it's easy to think, what I have to say.
     
     To write something new,
     
     all I have to do

is mount my recliner and write away!

Premium Member Nothing Is Forever

Nothing in life is forever, nature's seasons teach us that; people leave, people die to be seen never no gold remains where once love sat. Everything in the world is ever changing, but, oddly my grief stays; nature and memories always re-arranging, and gold moments fade to weeping days. ______________________ February 23, 2023 Written for the contest, Inspired by Robert Frost's Nothing Gold Can Stay sponsor, JCB Brul
