Five Photos, Five Stories (Day Two)

Silence

Only my breath and 

hers to pull my thoughts away

from the cold silence

Thanks to Sarah Brentyn for nominating me for the Five Photos, Five Stories challenge. I thought I'd try a haiku today. Sarah's are so beautiful and it's a bit daunting to attempt a kind of writing I've had little experience with. But these days, I'm all about testing my limits, trying new things, and being gentle (or at least trying to be gentle) as I fumble around and find my way. 

The “rules” of the Five Photos, Five Stories Challenge are:

1) Post a photo each day for five consecutive days.

2) Attach a story to the photo. It can be fiction, non-fiction, poetry, or a short paragraph. It’s entirely up to the individual.

3) Nominate another blogger to carry on the challenge. Your nominee is free to accept or decline the invitation. Just have fun.

Five Photos, Five Stories (Day One)

No Islands

If I had the choice

I'd return here again 

With your hand in mine.

And my heart in hand. 

Thanks to Sarah Brentyn for nominating me for the Five Photos, Five Stories challenge. I'm calling this one No Islands and it is likely the first piece of poetry I've written since I was a teenager. But hey, when it feels like you're starting from scratch, you can worry less about restrictions.
