TJ’s Household Haiku Challenge this week… check it out here.

His prompt photo was

fence paint flaking with geraniums and the prompt word, Fence.

My take…

Cricket match tension
Batter standing at the green
Fielders fence him in
Can he hit a boundary?
By God, he’s done it! Howzat!

Discoveries made
Treasures found from long ago
A mine of wonders
Mystical tales uncovered
Proving other-worldly life

From a little seed
Does a great oak tree grow tall
All it needs is time

Don’t wish time away
They already grow too fast
Embrace their childhood

I can’t stop looking
My morbid fascination
Growing all the time

Tj’s Household Haiku Challenge.

There was a photo

Place Monge Flowers

And the word VIBRANT.

My take…

Colours so vibrant
A bouquet of memories
Each telling a tale

Ritu 2016

The fabric is actually from my mum. These are outfits that she was bought for her wedding, and each separate piece really does have a story behind it. She has kept some of these pieces aside for me, as memory pieces, things that I will have a sentimental attachment to.

She always starts the conversation with “I’m not being morbid but one day I won’t be here, so I want to get these things sorted out.” And there is a pile of these jewel-coloured outfits for me, and for my sister in law!

One thing’s for sure, I’ll never forget my mum.
