No room for poems
Rushing around like a loon
Can’t look at the stars
Don’t know the phase of the moon
Let there be space tomorrow
NaPoWriMo: Day Ten Yo!
NaPoWriMo: Day Nine
Day 9. Not inspired by randomly generated words. A friend uploaded a song called Nobody Loves You, so I’ve used the title for inspiration for my tanka instead.
Nobody loves you
Your appeal is wearing thin
Shrug off your shackles
Till you’re free to seek within
Be the change you need to be
The Song can be heard here: Nobody Loves You – Andrew Russe
NaPoWriMo: Day Eight
NaPoWriMo: Day Seven
RGW: paradise, sand
I found paradise
amidst deep azure waters
and bright coral bays
Surrounded by golden sands
Never lost; just awaiting
NaPoWriMo: Day Six
NaPoWriMo: Day Five
Sheung Luk Wu, Sai Kung East Country Park
RGW – reindeer, spirit, waterfall
When wild spirits blow
And reindeer graze on willow
Waterfall cascades
Drum out hypnotic rhythms
Synchronised with our heartbeats
NaPoWriMo: Day Four
NaPoWriMo: Day Three
Randomly generated words: bank, galaxy
Under moonless sky,
you and I on blanket lie.
We gaze at the stars;
two riverbank daydreamers
searching mystic galaxies.
I also like the last three lines standing alone as a haiku:
We gaze at the stars;
two riverbank daydreamers
searching mystic galaxies

NaPoWriMo: Day Two
Today’s randomly generated words: crown, Summer, straw
Taking chaff from wheat
under a high Summer sun,
we wove our magic.
I, your Prince; you, my princess.
Decked with crowns of barley straw
