what season is this?
dark, enigmatic, grown wild–
spilling from our eyes
don’t weep–
rings encircle
us inside life’s limits–
we must learn to accept
the turning of
the tides
Elisa Ang provided the artistic inspiration, above, for my series of volcano poems appearing this week at Pure Haiku. Serendipitously, the Kick-About recently hosted a prompt based on Turner’s painting of Mt. Vesuvius, for which I made a series of collages and wrote a cadralor of volcano-themed poems titled “In Search of Venus”. And Jane’s Oracle 2 words provided further inspiration for me to write five Badger poems to go with the volcano theme.
You can read my poem at Pure Haiku here. Thanks, as always, to Freya Pickard for her continued support of my work.

Tears, time, tides and circles. Only the bird is missing.

A glimpse at destruction and creation. Volcanos are power and fury holding secret their purpose! Love the poem and the art!

Thanks Robbie. The girls and I made a feast which we will be eating all week I think. They both took this week off from work so we had a lot of time together.
