The Root - (Tanka Tuesday #283)
The Root – (Tanka Tuesday #283)
Quietly sit and visualise,
Feel the wind, hear the birds, touch the land,
Recharge; walk bare foot on grass,
The foundation of life.
Ruddy roots revered,
Keeps us grounded,
To the earth,
Secure,
Safe.
(Nonet)

Poetry Friday ~ Women's Day!
Poetry Friday ~ Women’s Day!
◊
Everyday should be “Women’s Day”––just saying! There’s nothing more wonderful than women supporting and encouraging other women. Sadly, too many women fail to understand that every time a woman succeeds it’s great for all of us. As intelligent, mindful women we need to start celebrating each other’s achievements––like men do. Let’s put aside our petty jealousy and envy, it doesn’t do anyone any…

Tiger's Eye - (Tanka Tuesday #277)
Tiger’s Eye – (Tanka Tuesday #277)
To open the creative sacral …
That unleashes passionate lust;
Take fast, light belly breaths to …
Ignite the desire fire,
Then blow more, more, it’s …
Insatiable;
That amber …
Tiger’s
Eye.

Of all my siblings I was the only one really interested. Even with meteor showers, one by one my sisters would slip into the house until I was alone with the heavens,…

Kindness? (Tanka Tuesday + Blogtober #29)
Much empathy from
A good and generous heart,

On a wet and windy night,
Knowing they salute evils.
