Spill Over…

My dark, silent thoughts

are no longer at peace with me.

—

Restless, they simply have

to spill into lettered words.

Home and Free… Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Challenge

jacquelineobyikocha7 Comments

Right at my homes’ doorstep
I free body parts trapped in what-not,
it’s always a blessed relief!

Everything freely wiggles and jiggles
deep sighs of contentment permeate my being
home, where I can just be me.

Chance and Equal….Weekly Haiku Challenge

jacquelineobyikocha2 Comments

The chances are equal,
to fail or to succeed
the choice is yours.

Chance, Winner, Loser, Chess, Life

I took a chance
and it doubled my gains
I’ll take another one.

Time To Burn…

jacquelineobyikocha10 Comments

We Burn Time, Flame

 

we incubate our dreams

in anticipation of the right time

to birth them,

but

we forget that

we have no time to burn

‘cos time never waits for us.

Slim and Chance – Haiku Challenge

I got to squeeze in two haikus for the price of one 🙂 Great prompt Ronovan.

Less is More quote

They say less is more

My chance of getting slim and less

is becoming a fat chance

Opportunity

Opportunities are slim these days

Grab every chance you’ve got

Hold onto them real tight

Noisy attempt to sneak in
was foiled by his missus
in her nightgown and bonnet

What My Mama Said To Me…14

jacquelineobyikocha3 Comments

Wisdom, Mother Knows Best, Proverbs, Mother and Child

Mama said to me, baby,
you know that life might choose
to hand you unwanted baggage;

but

you can choose to stand tall,
straighten your shoulders
and carry them with elegance.

Branches…

Lonely Planet, Foliage

We cut the branches
where we once sat;

The foliage fell,
it became one with the Earth

there were no trees
there was no longer us.

Sweet and Tart… Haiku

jacquelineobyikocha9 Comments

Image result for images of pretty woman

 

Her sharp retort was tart;

it utterly belied her gentle, sweet demeanour

and took him by surprise.

♦

Beneath her tart looking appearance

lies a sweet, confused and misunderstood soul

all she seeks is love.

 

Written for Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge – prompt words “Sweet and Tart”
