Last week I wrote poetry on Saturday night, and it was a HUGE success. Using a Spotify relaxation playlist as a prompt, two REALLY strong poems emerged after a couple of hours work, and this gave me all of Sunday to edit at leisure. On consideration, this is a decent way of improving craft going forward. Next week, therefore, I intend to write outside (and make the most of the Spring sunshine.)
I’m really pleased with this set of Haiku. It has a depth and breadth, plus covers the initial idea which inspired it: shining light on yourself, being capable of accepting faults and shortcomings, allowing means to improve and grow. I hope this new working arrangement brings more fruitful work in the weeks that follow.
Reflections
Prism, turning slow
Refracting intent: daylight
Pierces gloom within.
Corners enlightened
Dust blown, surface cleared, reset
Re-calibrate soul.
Look outside yourself
Redemption glitters; intent
Possibility.
Each second, strengthens
Internal belief: shifting
Impetus outwards.
This life, a mirror
Penance carried: salvation
Found in reflections.
