“What remains, is Love” a haiku by Tonya Marie
after indifference,
after all the fear subsides,
what remains, is love

Air Flows, Lilies Dance ~ a haiku by Tonya Marie
air flows, lilies dance
Windows wide open
as the crisp fall air flows thru
lilies dance in breeze

A micro-collection of micropoetry … just six words (and a word to the scribes)
In last night’s [this morning’s?] twilight moments my creative self was very busy doing what she does … she used the space created by a still mind to stoke the linguistic fire usually reserved for my heart.
I almost convinced myself I was too tired to get up and record the musings swirling about. But having been burned by the “oh, I’m suuuuure I’ll remember this when I wake up” before, I decided to rise and let my linguistic fire shine. I’m sure you poets and scribes out there understand! Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can write today. Because the divine gift of words is like the bee in search of the flower that is ready and willing to open to receive.
Here are a few of the gifts I chose to receive.
Peace & Poetry,
Tonya Marie
“timeless”
love is not defined by timelines

“untitled”
we’re not on vacation, we’re home

“the perfect gift”
unwrap me slowly, save the bow

Micropoetry Saves My Life
So in the infamous words of Rakim … “it’s been a long time, I shouldn’ta left you…”. But yesterday’s story is gone, tomorrow is yet to unfold (and isn’t promised) so all I have is today, this time, this moment.
Thanks to a very dear friend, Vince L. Wilson a/k/a my Twin and THE Haiku King-of-the-Universe (@InVinceWil … you MUST follow), in this moment I am led to return to my love of the written and spoken word in the form of form poetry. Micropoetry to be exact.
So every now and again I’ll share some of my latest poetic tidbits and also reach back into my poetry vault (aka my poetry journal [not my BlackBerry]… yeah, it’s old school, so sue me!) and share some blasts from the past.
Tonight, I was led to finish a haiku in need of a few more syllables. And here is it:
Recipe for life
Open your heart, and add love
Then season to taste
