Etsy Bloggers Carnival: Poetry Reading Day · Apr 25, 06:26 PM

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 wait

Many hopes dreams gone
Echoes are all that remain
Of what could have been

I wait eagerly
The next opportunity
Time passes slowly

Overwhelmed so much
Hard to break the news to all
How do I move on

One 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:

Spice Market

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.
