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)

Yonder

As Tasha was sitting on a stump she was suddenly aware of movement out yonder in the field. She couldn’t quite make out what it was from where she was sitting. Watching she decided she didn’t want to get any closer at that moment. (44 Words)

Reena’s Exploration Challenge- Karma bites

Karma Bites ….. by Sadje

Sadje/ Sadie's avatarKeep it alive

Reena is the host of Reena’s Exploration Challenge

Welcome to Week 178!

PROMPT #178

The prompt words for this week are

Karma Bites

You are free to use any medium you like to describe

〰️〰️〰️

How often we have wished that karma does its thing instantly

Instead, we desire and wait for fate to step in and do what we hope

Revenge is sweet but not everyone wants to take matters into their hands

We leave it to karma to set the balance right without our active role

It often takes its victim unawares, playing out its righteous maneuver

Generating ultimate satisfaction in the breast of the unjustly wronged

♾♾♾♾

तकदीर का मोहरा

English version here

If there is no darkness, just delay
Why’s that person not yet mine?

Why doesn’t the night pass away
Why is my house dark, not thine?

I was dear to them some day
face in their frames is not mine

Why did I let them move away?
One can stop life, but not time…

Who is not a pawn of fate?
If you lost a game, why whine?

Read original Hindi poem by hecblogger (Amit Agrawal) below.

hecblogger's avatarPlaying with words

गर उसके घर में देर है अंधेरा नहीं है
तो क्यों वो शख़्स अब तक मेरा नहीं है

क्यों नहीं कटती है यह काली रात
एक मेरे ही घर में क्यों सवेरा नहीं है

होते थे हम भी कभी उसको अज़ीज़
अब उसकी तस्वीर में मेरा चेहरा नहीं है

कि काश रोक लेते हम उस दिन उसे
वक़्त किसी के रोके से ठहरा नहीं है

क्या ग़म जो हारा तू यह बाज़ी अमित
है कौन जो तकदीर का मोहरा नहीं है

Such A Jerk

Such a jerk …… By Jim Adams

newepicauthor's avatarA Unique Title For Me

One way or another, someone has to kick that guy right in his head, what on Earth is he trying to do, he better get himself together before Karma bites him in his ass.  There is no reason for him to be threating this poor little girl, who by the way seems completely innocent to me, so harsh.  He admits to being a wicked guy with a jealous mind, but that is no excuse for this type of behavior.  I can’t see anyone in their right mind ever singing about domestic abuse where women get beaten and battered by their man, but it does happen.  March is all about celebrating the accomplishments of women, but we also need to do something for the ones that need protection.  When a man threatens to take a girl’s head off and tells her that she better run for her life, then that man…
