Wise wings against the moonlight.
Movement over the land,
starlight illuminates hidden places,
and her dragon scales do bend,
as she moves within forest shadows.
Very Short Story: Sakura
Sakura Chiyo is 5.
Sakura’s pigtails bob and jiggle as she points a toe here, does a twirl there, or moves gracefully.
There’s nothing between heaven and earth to stop a bright heart full of light.
Then her ballet feet dance. A lithe, she captivates the nature spirits with her soul.
Learner
Unimpressed by automobiles,
they say persistence is key.
Mum teaches her in a Datsun,
screaming and jumping about;
the joys of learning to drive.
Mother’s Day
Many pictures of mothers and children,
as their love for each other glows.
You’re in the North, and I’m in the South,
yet there’s this unbreakable bond.
Still, I wish to see you sipping tea again.
Very Short Story: Little One
She spends her time picking up old plastic bottles, finding half-eaten food, sipping on best past beverages, and nipping in and out of the supermarket bins.
A waif with no mother to hug her and no father to play games; she is alone, yet when the moon is full and shines upon her face, then the stars gather to tell her of the better days ahead.
Very Short Story: School Friends
“I remember when we wagged PE. It seems not so long ago, right?“
“Yeah, but then you left in grade 10. Just like that, my friend’s gone.“
“I know. It was out of my control.“
Thinking how we reminisce about 25 years ago, like yesterday, “It’s great to see you.“
“You too.“
Session Finale
Raw emotion,
in a mess,
as the session
finale ends.
Why?
Why be like everyone,
when you can
be your interesting?
Lost in the Echoes
Lost in the echoes
of barren land without snow,
wishing to see you.
Bonfire
We stand around the bonfire,
listening to fire crackling wood,
as ash and embers touch the sand.
We think of magical tridents on fire,
as we think of Poseidon and the sea.
