in haiku series, senryu Tags: dreams, moon, mother
frightful childhood dreams
creatures of fur, fang, and claw
mount stairs to bedroom
_______
cannot sleep tonight
half-moon’s eye peeks in window
chases dreams away
_______
someday…rest in peace
mother speaks to me in dreams
her voice reassures
_______
In response to Ingrid’s visionary poetic prompt at dVerse poets…for dreamers only!

Lillian at dVerse invites us to write a quadrille (44-word poem) on the most beautiful word in our language: tranquility
adirondacks sit on
porch of beach house
surf flows in, lightly froths
foam over fine sand…
sucked back to sea,
leaving castaway shells.
seagulls perch on pier…
launch upward in lazy arcs
where white clouds float,
billow, accumulate into
tranquil dreams…
of sunny tomorrow.

“Tan renga” chained together for Carpe Diem Haiku Kai, where Delores wrote a beautiful haiku reminding me of poem by Eugene Fields and park sculpture.
clouds and waves
carry my dreams away
tugging my anchor

drift along in private boat
of winkin’ blinkin’ and nod

in tanka Tags: blooms, dreams, lavender, prayers, purple
A “gentle scent of lavender” at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai today…
pillowed prayers’ peace
gentle scent of lavender
perfumes silent dreams
purple fields in evening praise
raise reverent cloistered blooms

Chèvrefeuille at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai hosts virtual tour of Europe this month.
deep tidal currents
glean golden light of autumn
fjord of our dreams

mr. toady,
poor bloke,
he croaked!
“call a spade
a raccoon,” i said.
go bury bumpy
next to his lumpy
mortician’s binary
fission beautician
beneath the
sassafras bush.
but whatever
you do, don’t
sneeze at rich
dark chocolate
syrupped-steak
served up hot
by pink-vested
bobble bunnies
with sides of steamy
blue lobster rainbows
under kettle-korn
skies…or you may
shatter my shiny
silver-plattered
mad-hattered
dreams.
So, what do you think of my new garden ornament? Linked to d’Versepoets

(Photo & tan renga challenge from Carpe Diem Haiku Kai)
flight of the eagle
stepping into the world of dreams
a silent cry (Chèvre)
a piercing eye sees dreams die
Awake! fly free…forever (lynn)
a poem in my pocket
