#Tanka 8 – time and laughter

there’s always laughter
the time we spend together
memories we share
we also argue sometimes
but couldn’t live without you

Carpe Diem Tanka Splendour #11 fireplace

flames licking the logs
warming glow, crackle, sparkle
keep each other warm
ecstasy and passion felt
ah! the love for each other

Carpe Diem Tanka Splendor #4 Teika’s 2nd Tanka Writing Technique “Appropriate statement” – prompt: bare branches

leaves have fallen
reflection in the water
a cold autumn day
reminiscing of the past
when you and I holding hands

Carpe Diem Tanka Splendour #3 rain

Let the rain tease you
Embracing you with passion
The scent and splendour
Of the earth longing for rain
Quenches its thirst and desire

Wind and Grace #Tanka

swaying butterfly
pirouetting ballet dancer
spins with the wind
graceful in its supple haze
I wish I’m a butterfly

Shapes and Heart

summer breeze is fun
swimming to my heart’s content
summon the muses
and in all shapes and sizes
to the cool ocean for bliss

sizzling with fiery passion

Silver’s Weekly #Tanka #Poetry Prompt Challenge #2 Magic & Glitter

the magic called love
it glitters the heart and soul
until you left me
the whole world seems to be black
till I find myself again

Poetry Prompts Day 3 – OctPoWriMo 2016 – Sparkling

moonrise
dazzling stars glittering
evening at a house

peaceful evening with some wine
reminiscing bygone days

candlelite dinner
hold hands under the table
her eyes are sparkling

crickets chirping by the trees
soft breeze whistling in the night

full moon reflection
lovers walk by the sea
she wears sequin dress

they promise to love each one
kiss by the light of the moon

Silver’s Weekly #Tanka #Poetry Prompt Challenge #1 Harvest & Moon

fly me to the moon
harvest moon that’s like a dream
together we dance
feeling the chills in our bones
on a gorgeous night with you

gleams like the full moon
golden as the crisp leaves
time for harvest
shades of reds, greens and yellows
two apple trees at the yard
