Keeping hope alive with dVerse Poets in a “quadrille” of exactly 44 words…
hope dangles around courage’s neck,
name etched on soldier’s dog tag.

image by lynn
hope throbs within young love’s heart,
hands held in first awkward clasp.
hope gazes into future’s eyes,
grandchildren carry family name.
hope laughs in fear’s masked face,
dove flies home after violent storm.

This is what I call “experimental haiku” … it tells the story with a minimum of words and that’s what I challenge you with.  (see Carpe Diem Haiku Kai family)

locked mind

Class leaves art table in chaos
after origami orgy of one thousand folds.
Now paper cranes, and students, take flight!

review cunning calliope of creatures
observe running menagerie of animalia
stare at stunning kaleidoscope of wild kingdom
gaze on sunning rainbow of critter chaos
admire funning mosaic of my zootopia

Gotta love this colorful fabric pattern featured at Imaginary Garden with Real Toads where Margaret invites us to quilt a poem!
