Wearing suits and ties

Volcano

 

A sacrifice set,

Natives loom over lava

to appease the Gods...

 

In response to the prompt by Haiku Heights from their April A2Z

Composed Zappai

Concerning Issues
Influence their perspectives
with clouded judgment

Floating in dark space
Eeriness agrees with me
Distant lights flicker

Fighting against time
his calm fury will not yield
to his own limits

Drizzling outside
I feel full of energy
to express my thoughts

Stillness in my mind
causes my heart to waver
Hesitation Binds

Haiku Heights Day 20 A2Z Prompt

Roseamary

 

Pleasant Aromas

Fill the air with dancing scents

That tickle my nose

 

In response to the prompt offered by Haiku Heights

Composed Zappai

Combing through the wake,

I discover what I've lost

I firmly take grasp

 

Silkly smooth textures

begins to soothe my coarse view

To a kinder world

 

Ticking and Tocking

The same eb and flow of Time

Washes us ashore

 

Tranquil winds lift me

to a peaceful atmosphere

so I can relax

 

As the calm sets in,

the peaceful days continue

and keeps our hearts still

 

Sipping and Watching,

teacups match my demeanor

with pomp elegance

 

Triumphant trumpets

call for the glaring fanfare

to unite them All

 



National Poetry Month - April 2013

Celebrating National Poetry Month

 

To recognize National Poetry Month, I will be posting more Zappai and maybe some other type of poems as well.

 

Winding up the Clock

Time begins to start again

Movement starts anew

 

Damp, this season is

There is a constant drizzle

to keep me cooled off

 

Finally, its here!

Welcome new beginnings

The sound of conflict

 

Holding all unseen,

The Wind's embrace bind feelings

that hold people back

 

The darkening sky

gives birth to a living night

I awake to it

 

A skirmish about,

The carnage of utter noise

deafens my mind's thoughts
