TJ’s prompts today
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 leafRitu 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 startsRitu 2017

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?Ritu 2017

Please be careful not
To make an ill fated choice
Means future heartache

Leave it in God’s hands
Some say our fate is destiny,
I say, we write it!

On that fateful day
I made some awful cup cakes
Ugly but tasty!
