Walk Softly Live Gently

If you wander don’t worry you’re not lost

Sleep

For this weeks haiku prompt (Sleep) at “One Deep Breath”
I am also using these two poems (first a tanka, the other a haiku) for Poetry Thursday

Sleep is where we live

Most of our waking hours

Unencumbered by light

By the work of thought

It’s time to wake up!

If we sleep the sleep

Of the enlightened ones

Is the world still here?

  1. Interesting meditations.

  2. Ron, I hope you feel better soon. You did a wonderful job.

  3. thanks Pearl and Tammy. I realize this is not the best form….speaking about ideas instead of nature, but hey, that’s what came to me and I tend to be the rebel in my so-called ‘later years’ so I just put it out there for whatever it’s worth.

  4. I like your poems very much, especially the second one. Maybe we are in a different world?

  5. Interesting tanka and haiku. Too many people are sleep walkingthrough life.
