OctPoWriMo Day 23 – Water Dance

October 23, 2015 Off By Lisa

I’m going rebel.

Today’s OctPoWriMo prompt asks us to consider the vastness of the universe, to observe how tiny parts fit together to create a greater whole. I’ll work on that, but it’s not likely to show up here today.

One of the sentence prompts on today’s post inspired me more readily, though. I pulled an old draft from my notebook, worked about five different versions of it, and finally settled on a bit of Haiku.

early spring rainstorm —

toes spin on slippery wood

across the wet bridge

And then I decided to add a bonus – just a short poem from a few years ago brought to mind by the OctPoWriMo blog post title today.

I trudge on

through this strange year of rain,

a perfect drop of hope

carried by the roar of the flood.
