Tumble dry, tumble dry

Tumble dry, tumble dry ….. by Aishwarya

Till the Sun’s on a holiday,

Tumble dry, tumble dry,

Covers, shirts, saris,

Lacking energy go in all dejected,

Rejuvenated from a steamy spray come out with energy interjected,

Covers, shirts, saris,

Take with them for a short unintended stroll,

Papers, doddles, currencies, and when the cycle ends,

An unimaginable form to their poor pals rendered.

Carelessness, absent- mindedness, impatience,

One or all it may be,

When all of them work in fine tide,

Results may be hilarious or note worthy,

So it was, when all the clothes decided to go for a spin one wintry noon,

They sneaked in their dear friend for an impromptu stroll,

It wasn’t until they came out, excited,

As if from a day out at the spa,

Their animated glare,

Accompanied by a far off faintly blare,

A sheepish grin,

In return for a text that flashed across their friend, Mr Mobile’s screen,

He was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment on charges of theft. On his way out from the courtroom, he stopped near his mother in the viewers’ seats, and spat on her face. Onlookers were stunned. “I wish you had punished me the first time I stole an extra bun from the baker’s shop. But you … Continue reading Karma Bites

Writing stories

The high-priced biscuits are arranged in a pattern on the lawn. “What are you doing, Jamie? Food gets contaminated.” “I’m writing a pictorial story, Mom, not eating characters.” But Puppy did not seem to care about stories. He took a mouthful, while Jamie spoke to me. Jamie’s scream is heart-rending, as he slaps the guilty-looking … Continue reading Writing stories

Cherry Blossoms

Cherry Blossoms…. By Dwight Roth

rothpoetry's avatarRoth Poetry

Cherry blossoms lead the Spring parade. Along with flowering pear, and redbuds they provide a glorious silhouette against the deep blue sky. I took this photo in my neighborhood this morning. Cherry blossoms are a great symbol of new life and light as we lead into Easter this coming weekend.

Cherry blossoms shine

Painting warm soft spring snowflakes

Soon wrapped in deep green

At d’Verse, Frank asked us to write our Monday Haibun on the theme of cherry blossoms. I waited to post till today so I could show you the beautiful cherry blossoms I see as I pass in and out of my neighborhood.

Karma Bites

Karma Bites …..by VJ Knutson

VJ's avatarOne Woman's Quest

She looks over my shoulder
that sister, born dying –
whom I mocked, cajoled
and judged so harshly

She breathes down my neck
that sister, I despised
for her sin, and mistakes
how she always abandoned me

She taunts me constantly
ridicules my failing ways
her thoughts poisoned darts
attack me at my core

My eyes are opening,
compassion too late
“Karma bites”, her ghost
hisses as illness seeps in.

(For Reena’s Xploration Challenge: karma bites. Image my own)
