It turns out that this week’s EtsyBlogger’s Street Team topic is Poetry Reading Day. I’m not much of a poet. J is more the poet than I. But instead of doing a copy and paste of some poem I found online, I thought I would try my hand at Haiku.
I haven’t written one in a long time, but as you can see, once I got started I couldn’t stop. This week has clearly given me fodder for the art:
Then it was my time
But it was taken from me
For now I must waitMany hopes dreams gone
Echoes are all that remain
Of what could have beenI wait eagerly
The next opportunity
Time passes slowlyOverwhelmed so much
Hard to break the news to all
How do I move onOne day at a time
No more, no less to survive
Soon it will have passed
So I know all that was a little bit depressing. I am up and down myself. Bear with me a bit…I promise to make an effort to keep my grieving off the blog…mostly. :/
In the meantime, let me leave you with some eye candy lest you run screaming in the opposite direction:
These earrings are called Spice Market. Lovely chandeliers I made sometime last month while inspired by perusing one of my favorite photographer’s Flickr feeds. I enjoyed making these so much, that I think I’m going to start an “Inspired” series based on photographs or whatever else inspires me as I come across them. I expect the series to be really good. :)
I’ll be posting these on the site sometime next week.
Sometimes poetry is the best way to get out those emotions. It doesn’t always have to be rainbows and butterflies.
I wait eagerly
The next opportunity
Time passes slowly
Don’t apologize. The words above show you have hope.
Yes, short addictive
Words seem to flow endlessly
One mind to the next.
