Blackened
Scorched earth
Seed burned open
To release new life
Phoenix
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #38: Burn
feeling alone
in the woods around Edo
just the autumn wind

dry brown leaves swirl at my feet
pungent wood smoke fills the air
Dancing Echoes
In response to CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI: Carpe Diem Tan Renga Month May 15th “feeling alone” by Yozakura
Back in my prime
When young and spry
I used to rock
A fierce cat eye
Eventually
There came a day
Old Father Time
Would make me pay
Where used to be
A single line
Now smudgy mess
Like I’ve been cryin’
And now alas
It spreads and grows
Resembling
The feet of crows
(Imagine this being recited in the voice of Vincent Price)
