Weekly Scribblings #32: I Am Explaining A Few Things
Prompted by Sanaa: Challenge today is to write inspired by the title of Neruda's poem Feel free to address the current world situation, or perhaps delve into a memory of your own. Challenge the reader, surprise us with humor and wit, go solemn and dark or perhaps tender and romantic. The possibilities are endless!
❧✿❧
this gift of morning
let me explain a few things -
poems today's joy
alone with bird songs
how could this be you may ask -
that's the way it is
you were meant to be -
always in my heart even
though we are apart
some love stories stretch
the imagination to -
a span of azure
so today i cheer-
happy anniversary
sans regret to me
come morning sunlight -
this used to be our home
now its called my home

Nice Haiku set, Gillena. Been there, done that too, wearing the other shoe. She and the kids stayed, i had to leave. The new guy and another hed to leave too, her 4th met her bill. But you are right, love lasts longer than the half empty home.
