Climbing Life in Every Direction

south north west and east
like the common compass
directions in world
I like aboriginal more
four plus up-down-in-outwards

up to touch the sky
in- and outwards for you and me
down to stay on earth
feeling life without fences
living every direction

Not very good ones! I have to improve and try a bit more poetic
Come on Birgitta!

footprints of the sea
running grass symphonies
a frog jumped across

wind is blowing strong
a damaged leaf lost it’s way
a pine cone fell down

Climbing Life in Every Direction was originally published on PHOTO – POETRY – CRAZY ART

First Prime M

Carpe Diem’s ”Ask Jane …” #7, Tanka, the grandmother of Haiku.

I wanted to vote
for our new leadership
she is a leader

history count sexteenth head
Swedens first female Prime M

Ps. Today the Moderat party in Sweden changed leader. Now Anna Kinberg Batra is the leader (before was Fredrik Reinfeldt former Prime Minister).

And that's it

Daily Prompt: Sweet little lies.
As kids, we’re told, time and again, that lying is wrong. Do you believe that’s always true? In your book, are there any exceptions?

You should never lie
I would never lie – truly
We make the true life

And that is it – for sure
The world will be better now

Frestande idé

Skrivpuff: Äpple.

Ett två tre äpplen
räcker nog till efterrätt
skålen är bröad

Vilken frestande idé
bäst att sätta igång – nu

Knocking Rationality #haiku #tanka

Daily Prompt: Gut Feeling.
When’s the last time you followed your instinct despite not being sure it was the right thing to do? Did it end up being the right call?
