Thursday photo prompt: Painted #writephoto

A wooden bridge, It led to nowhere, Deep into the verdant bloom, Enigmatic, Mysterious. It dared the passerby, To tread on the shaky bridge, As the lilies looked on nonchalantly, Smirking, Mocking the traveller, For the secrets of the forest, None could find, Nature's cache safely hidden, For unknown hands, They had defiled many thickets.…

Colleen’s 2020 Weekly #Tanka Tuesday #Poetry Challenge No. 178 #PhotoPrompt

I have written a Shadorma. Fiery eyes, Yellow ombre shone, Told a tale, Stagnant still, It was Camouflaged to kill, Verdant bloom smells death. Via: https://colleenchesebro.com/2020/05/19/colleens-2020-weekly-tanka-tuesday-poetry-challenge-no-178-photoprompt/

Thursday photo prompt: Dance #writephoto

A Haibun The endless expanse stretched all around the horizon. Not a soul was in sight. The grass had dried up to give the land a golden hue. The patch of green marked the path leading to the amphitheatre that was encircled by the stony columns withered by travails of time but standing proud. They…

Thursday photo prompt: Eve #writephoto

I have written a Haibun on the prompt. The blue eyed giant stood tall and menacing.Its grotesque arms had long octopus like tentacles that it flung around in fury and threatening to decimate any one that crossed its path. He was the Devil incarnate out to consume all goodness on this planet. The denizens all…

Hope(A double etheree)

Light, Vibrant, Spreading love, Now cloistered deep And Melancholic, It Fluttered in fury, Darting at the grey cover, Slipping through tiny crevices, The icicles now with a dull sheen A Suffusion of warmth so radiant. Leaving a fiery trail on dreary grey, The errant ray full of lively spright, A cavalcade of surging hope, Flaunting…

Colleen’s 2020 Weekly #Tanka Tuesday #Poetry Challenge No. 174 #PhotoPrompt

I have written an Etheree on this beautiful prompt by Jude, from Tales Told Different. She sang to the tune of falling raindrops, Trying to fight darkness with her light, Her silent thunder rained down love, Her dazzling eyes dispersed gloom, Unrestrained and fiery, Rejunevating, Infusing life , Into all, Blooming, Life.

A Haze

A dark haze, Clouds of vicious smoke, Spiralling, Waltzing to an ominous tango, Clawing its fangs deep down, Scavenging into a tormented soul. The mystic soul, Lost, Bewildered, Hurt, It wails. Seeking solace, Searching for a beacon bright, That would lighten up , Those dreary paths. Fallen into a dark abyss, It trudges along wearily,…

A Gift( an etheree)

A shiny gift of surreptitious love, Anonymously sent a dark day, A catchy, meticulous bow, Tying up all the loose ends, Sericeous and vibrant, The starry facade, Sheathing bounties, Sent unknown, Spreading, Love.

Thursday photo prompt: Otherworldly #writephoto

Life, A cobbled clutter, Lost in its maze, You stumble and fall, Sharp edges grazing your soul. But, A brave heart, You trudge along, Till you find new openings, A stony orifice of hope, Unveiling a new kaleidoscope, Of places unseen, Of places not been, An enigma beyond the stars, An endless quest of desires…
