Sue’s prompt for #WritePhoto today:

The walls have ears, so they say
Silent they stand, stark and grey
But the things they’ve seen over the ages
Could overfill a writers pages
Happiness, sadness and all in between
A bit of it all, they have seen
Buildings ravaged, falling down
Roots creeping round, gnarled and brown
Yet the things they see, memories may fray,
But sights can never ever be wiped away

A party for one
Enjoying my solitude
Balancing my soul

Life is a party
It’s up to us to decide,
To enjoy or not
Ritu 2017
Enjoyed that party
Food and drink, music on tap
At others expense!

Leaf & Look
And/or the photo

Off to an engagement in an hour so I can’t go mad with my haiku, but here is one, using the words.
The way I see it
We are all from the same tree
Each of us a leaf
Ritu 2017
And a Tanka from the photo!
Standing quietly
A leaf of paper floats down
I look up, he smiles
Love letters sent from above
Italian romance starts

Colleen’s Prompt this week:

A Tanka for all the disheartened teachers out there…

Image from Google
They turned up the heat
My to-do lists are insane!
I am so confused!
What should I concentrate on?
Ticking ‘boxes’ or children?
Ritu 2017
And a HAiku for all you Mid-life ladies… I’m nearing there too!

Enter a caption
All hot and flustered
These turns are confusing me
Am I young or old?
