It's harder for your
ReplyDeletetroubles to find you if you
hide deep in the woods.
Hide deep in the woods.
Be still and coax peace to come
and eat from your hand.
Peace eats from your hand,
nests in your heart wherever.
Let your troubles go.
Let your troubles go.
They're a bitter stick to chew.
Learn, let go, go on.
Learn,let go, go on.
Or you will find in all ways
It's harder for you.
Roxie, Roxie, Roxie! Not limerick or haiku, but a pantoum! (And what a lovely one.) Roxie, you've outdone yourself.

ReplyDeleteSwimming the day streams
ReplyDeleteLeft all troubles at the door
Beautiful night falls
A woman walked fast to the trolley
ReplyDeleteThen stopped with a gasp and a golly
Looked long at the red
Leaves, lovely ahead,
Her soul rejoiced in fall's folly
Oooh, I like the name "crown of haiku" way better than "pantoum" anyway!
