Much ado, or: No exit

A haibun

spring window—
my curtain lifts once
then settles

The room is quiet, but the noise does not settle inside my head. Voices overlap; doubts, second-guessing, rehearsed replies, small concerns that return just when I begin to hope they have finished. They question, correct, and circle back until even simple moments become crowded. I understand the desire for it to stop, the pressure inside the mind.

d’Verse Haibun Monday

For this week’s Haibun Monday prompt, we are encouraged to compose silence-themed haibun.

Let’s write poetry together!

When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

–Ben Harper (b. 1969)

Would you like to create poetry with me and have a completed poem of yours featured here at the Skeptic’s Kaddish? I am very excited to have launched the ‘Poetry Partners’ initiative and am looking forward to meeting and creating with you

Pasos cansados llevaban a cĂșspides frĂ­as, y allĂĄ, sobre nubes grises, todos los suspiros danzaban tras la estela del nombre impronunciable. Pedazos de un corazĂłn rodaban por laderas de olvido...

NaPoWriMo Safe Under The Big Sagebrush

A walk at Crescent Bay reveals a rabbit hiding beneath Big Sagebrush while blooming antelope bitterbrush enchants with its yellow flowers. Nature’s beauty inspires a poetic haibun reflection.

I wonder, if I draw a line...

Again, March, or: Silence holds

A haibun

silence holdsrepeated alerts—end of March—

Late March. In the shelter, a mother reads aloud from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland—something about the March Hare. Above us, the air shudders; her voice resumes. I check my phone: the feed refreshes; the people of Tehran—still no signal.

d’Verse Haibun Monday

The above haibun is my take on the prompt at d’Verse, which invites us to craft haibun on the theme of the March Hare.
