November 2014 Poem-A-Day Chapbook Challenge: Day 26

‘twas a million places

a million cries

and a million winters

ago

in some ex-ballerina’s

apartment with eyes

in a city bewildered

by snow

‘twas the time that was perched

tween the land and the skies

in a basket of wonder

and willow

tween the yesterday’s hurts

and tomorrow’s goodbyes

rose petals of dawn

on the pillow

‘twas the world that was simple

it spelled you and I

in the hand of a happy

beginner

we would dance on the ceiling

(I don’t recall why)

and upset so the ex-

ballerina

when we left in a hurry

forgetting to pack

our mem’ries

she roused her ire

she arranged our wings

in a neat sky-high stack

pirouetted

and set them on fire

Live for the Love of it,

Sasha A. Palmer (a.k.a. "Happy")

November 2014 Poem-A-Day Chapbook Challenge: Day 3

‘Twas a winter of many a season,

of not much reason, just living.

Just sailing on top of the world,

that’s how we were.

‘Twas a city snow-swaddled, and maybe –

our first born baby – a glimpse of.

The new love, not much to forgive,

and all to give.

‘Twas the time of a silver voice soaring,

long miles before the storm happened

and troubled the water at will.

We’re happy still.

Live for the Love of it,

Sasha A. Palmer (a.k.a. "Happy")

2014 April PAD Challenge: Day 2

I've come up with a little April challenge of my own. 
I'm attempting to write a haiku (sort of) story based on Poetic Asides Poem-A-Day prompts.
Yesterday was Day #1 (Beginning), today is Day #2 (Voyage.) 
Two days, two haiku.




beyond the welkin

a sleepy angel awakes

off to work wings brushed

the commute is quick
one giant leap for mankind
for angel one step 




To be continued...I hope.

Live for the Love of it,

The Happy Amateur
