#TankaTuesday #Poetry 24 Seasons…

Picture from my back patio

April full moon cheered
as we stepped out to revel
in the glory of
gossamer rays that lured us
sorrow shrouds the moonlight now.

***

Covered by dark clouds,
the moon seems joyless like me
A sacred kinship,
a unique childhood connect 
of glum understanding. 

*** 

April showers breathe
a new life into morning
the velvety wind,
the fragrance of azalea
and wisteria‘s wild waltz.

***

A walk in the woods
breathing damp and steamy air 
Nostalgic moments
mingle in the maelstrom of
emotional engulfer.

My Window

A 
serene
spring morning,
a fragrant path
flanked by rose bushes –
a poignant reminder
of delightful days we loved!  
Ensnared by emotional bars,
bigger than parameters of grief,
I watch from my window, for your presence.

The chill of your absence seeped through my bones
but breeze of yearning wafts around me
I wait for the magic of hope
dappled light and shade rips me
shadows subdue spirit
positivity
lies in shambles –
a challenge
beyond
me.

Clear and Bright? #Poetry Challenge

Pixaby image

Fascinated by
glow of first cherry blossoms, 
birds bridle the breeze
dawn yawns at the horizon,
transmits vibes of self-solace. 

***

Exquisite attire
of spring is celebrated
rhythmic crescendo 
built by twittering of birds
brightens melancholy mood

***

Ready to harvest
expensive fiddlehead ferns
low in sodium,
you must steam, boil or sauté them.
savor with hollandaise sauce.

***

Solar eclipse struck
a weird emotional blow
dark shadows haunted,
illusory figures hugged,
deceptive dusk unfolded.

Colorless #Spring

Daffodils wither
my spring is so colorless,
bereft of delight.
dandelions surround me, 
with breeze of hope and healing.

***

Fireflies flutter
gleaming like fleeting moments
when evenings were fun!
In the cage of memories
I yearn for a golden spring.

*** 

This desolate bird
looks at the blue umbrella
song of spring echoes – 
a shrouded inspiration: 
azure sky is limitless.

#TankaTuesday – 24 Seasons Syllabic #Poetry Challenge

Pixaby image

Tranquil dawn beckons
bird songs enhance the magic
mellifluous mirth!
spring trots majestically
a delusional design. 

***

Mother Earth’s attire
alters within a few days
just like blissful life
that transforms within moments
hazy moon is in mourning.

***

commiserating, 
sharing my gloom with the world,
sending soothing vibes
creating a mist of love 
besotted birds enter clouds.
