From Sunset to Dawn
Just random pictures of things that start with the letter B or W. Taking a short break from writing poems and just enjoying this sharing of old pictures. One day I may write a poem inspired by these pictures.
Please check out Cee’s Black and White Challenge to see more awesome images. For this week, the challenge is to find items or images that start with the letter B or W.
In my heart
I know it is time
for next steps
a moment of silence to
catch breath, gather thoughts, stillness –
show must continue
doubt, regret
they come, no ending
let rain pours
why not befriend them – sometimes
we come to unpaved roads, but
treading through we must

becoming perplexed, curious,
what’s beyond our sight?

You raise and nurture me
but must I become old
You set the stage for me
but must I live in yours
You teach me to listen
but must I lose all my reasons
You told me to color inside the line
but my mind wants to fly across all lines
Will you always put barrier around my crib
and stop me from ever falling
Or will you give me the freedom
to fight my own demon
I pray you could listen
so we won’t be missen
And if only I could speak
I’d whisper, I’m your gift
(I)
cold frost still lingers
lichening wildly on vines
the lone spirit stands
(II)
naked and lonely
it whistles tirelessly
summoning love birds
Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge no. 215 – Poet’s Choice! This time I offer you another sketch of a tree and two haikus to accompany the sketch. Hence, what I actually offer this time is a haiga. Haiga is a haiku accompanied by a picture. Haiga, haiku, well, in reality the separation line is very thin. What’s more important is to enjoy making it.
“Trees are sanctuary. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth.
~ Herman Hesse
branches sing in tune,
and a poem of undead leaves
etched a trail un-end

Let’s talk about bridges today.
I’ll start with the old, traditional one, where no cars are allowed, but perhaps cattle and horses are okay….
….and then there’s the straight-forward one with a specific purpose.
Or how about a modern one, the bottom view to be exact….
….and this is the top view, although I still fail to spot the cattle and horses on this one. Anyone?
Finally, the tiny one for pedestrian….
“All bridges serve one purpose, that is to get across. Have you made a bridge today? Have you BECOME a bridge for someone?”
~Erlyn Olivia
And since you are such a nice visitor, here is an extra one.
I hope you spot the bridge and not just focus on the couple. Perhaps these two met at the Jomblo Bridge, let’s hope they had a wonderful time together.
Thanks for the opportunity to share some old photos that have been hiding inside my handphone for a long time. I didn’t realize I still have so many treasures in there. Please visit Cee’s Challenge Your Camera #7 – Bridge for more pictures.

Disuse and run down,
it needs a desperate run up,
before soon run out.
