30 Days of Haiga 2021: Like a Lone Wolf

Rick Daddario of the 19 Planets Blog used to host a 30 Days of Haiga challenge every September. He hasn't done so since 2014, but it was a tradition that I enjoyed.

I'm not hosting a challenge, but if you happen to think this is a cool idea, you're welcome to share links to your own creations.

I've always enjoyed the Haiku prompts provided by Kristian from the Carpe Diem blog, but he has been enduring personal challenges with the death of his mother and, as a nurse, is having to work extended hours due to COVID.

I use the Pixlr program to create photo art, so I think that what I will do is just use one of their suggested images as a prompt. Probably the first image that pops up so I don't get mired in decision-making. At the end of the month, I may put together the resulting Haiga as an e-chapbook.

I'm still working on formatting December Mood. It may be December of this year before I get it done.

Poems of Spring 2021 Remix

 

Image by David Bruyland from Pixabay

when you look at this rumpled old thing

just what is it that you see?

shall we plant a fence of trees

that will outlive you and me?

the miscreant heir who plays bass at purple twilight

Mad melodies marauding through my mind

Make me want to defy reality

How can I lift myself above this insanity?

dark havens for Stepford girls

mold and shape little women

made delicate like china

staring, pitying, patronizing

I didn't break you

although I cannot mend you

I will support you

if you will allow me to

Dear Cosmic Chef,

Was it fair of you to make me a mind 

that loves cooking up big dreams 

but has no freedom to fulfill them?

In retrospect, I can see 

why you thought Hollywood was wrong for my tastes.

But why didn't you see fit to give me even a morsel of talent?

Or even the smallest sprinkling of pizazz?

I could accept the fact 

that only the most half-baked mind 

could envision me as erotic.

But giving me the appearance 

of a blob of gritty icing 

atop a melted ice cream cake 

left sitting in the sun?

I won't stand for it, and I demand a refund.

waiting for the process server sucks

From where I'm sitting

There are doves and sparrows in the tree outside my window

Plotting to take a dump on my car

six-time loser down on her luck

at least this afternoon

we'll be able to hit the food bank

Would you believe that I am trying to be more like Pooh?

That willy-nilly silly old bear is my real hero.

Because he’s good-natured even when he’s bothered.

Every year one more piece of the past

Floats away on the winding river of time

many years have passed since I last visited a temple

or took a walk anywhere I felt at peace

Everything has changed so much in my old town

When my mother is gone, I will visit there no more

It brings back too many painful memories

Even with the passing of years, some wounds never heal

I don't hear too much from the birds outside my window

they fly to and fro, perching soundlessly

I slowly knit a headband and a scarf

from multicolored yarn, gold and red like autumn

I look at the birds outside my window

when my cats are gone, I will have no more

my heart is still an open wound from those lost before

night will fall regardless of what happens

love is a rat

caught in a trap

I clung onto his arm like a tattoo design

feared his desire would flicker like a dying flame

pressure to maintain impossible perfection

always drove me to hate my flawed self even more

he only saw women as collapsible dolls

why the hell did it take me so long to say no?

The first rain of the season was Thursday

Both the left and right are off their rocker

It's a sick, sad world

believe me or don't

~cie~
