The Wizard’s Defeat
Banished from the world not the magic in his head he plots strategies to rule the sky and the stars. A full moon smiles above…. Busy as Moon is tricks well concealed, protected in its roundness sleeves and hats are not his game he rolls over the night…. The wizard’s sharpness angular wisdom … Continue reading The Wizard’s Defeat
Fandango’s Provocative Question
THE QUESTION “When you learn about highly regarded artists being accused of inappropriate sexual behavior, especially with minors, can you separate the artists from their art, or would you refuse to listen to, watch, or read the artists’ works?” THE ANSWER While tracing an absconding loan defaulter, we often assume that he must have defaulted … Continue reading Fandango’s Provocative Question
Unmasked
This face is not the one I wore yesterday. Recast as abstraction, it chases illusions that will pilot my borrowed dreams. Today I am a galaxy of song, light, color and dance.
If I turn around
will I recollect myself
or pass myself by?
A haibun for the dVerse prompt of Mardi Gras, using synonyms for Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday words “follow” and “lead”. The collage is based on a Cajun Mardi Gras mask. I also made the haibun a quadrille of 44 words after being inspired by Jane and Merril’s use of this very short form.

The ground began to thaw and in a flash it was Spring, time to make their way into that other world, the world of Light.
I observed each day as they gingerly emerged, their fragile petals unfurling in a gift of surrender.
They had no way of knowing that change had been afoot in the world of Light as they slept safe and warm in the protective darkness.
The rules were changing, nothing was as it had been, the warmth, the cold, the light and the dark.
The Bell Jars were placed for protection before the snow fell and days later they reemerged, safe in their glass houses.
The thought occurred….. is there a Bell Jar large enough to protect our collective humanity, our all too human hearts, the world of Light we live in?

She had been feigning deficiency of Vitamin D for some time, and spent one hour every day in the lawn, to soak the sun. Her eyes were fixated on the door of House no. 404, which did not open, and the dark curtains did not give any clue of life inside. She considered herself lucky … Continue reading Page not found
