This week TJ of Life’s too short to drink bad wine has given us the topical words Earth and Whirlwind.
Topsy, turvy world
Ravished by savage whirlwind
Earth wind and fire.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whirlwind deviation.
Ripping up the land
Swirling up and moving all
Set up for a fall.

Female, wife, full time mother and Grandmother. I am not as happy go lucky as I used to be but I am still bubbling along on simmer! I have three handsome sons all grown and flown.The youngest married with a beautiful wife and two sons of his own. Back in 2010 I was working, running a home, driving and socializing then bang in a split second all that was gone. I had an accident at home. I broke my back, not for the first time, I had broken it 10 years previously as well. Unfortunately this time I had broken it really badly and it was truly messed up so I had to have two operations. I was told before each operation that the outcome could mean I spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Still as some guy once wrote "I am still standing " yes "better than I ever was " I no longer use the walking stick . I had lots of friends before the accident but when things like this happen, you loose most of them. Their lives move on and mine stood still and so they left me behind ...I know that is just the way life is but it hurt and always will. Then I looked around and saw those who were still there for me, these friends are the roses in my garden they need to be tended well. They are the diamonds in the dust. I will of been married 53yrs this comming year. I have found different ways to approach life, use my pain befriend it almost...yer right , well that is what they tell me at the pain clinic ROFLMAO ...... if only I could! I have found an outlet for my fears, frustrations and night terrors . I have started writing poetry if that name can be applied to my writing. I hope I do not come over as a moaning winger. I hope I am past all that. I also hope that you might see how the poetry is moving from very dark through the grey and hopefully in to light. My back is no longer straight it is C shaped because of the injury and I have lost two and a half inches in height but my Pilates and Core teachers have helped me to stand up as straight and be as strong as possible. Pain and depression are still hanging on my arm but I have weapons to use against them and if I say so myself I cope well. I have made lots of new friends, real diamonds. I am also very grateful for all the support and help I have encountered here on Wordpress. Hugs and welcome to everyone who visits. View all posts by willowdot21

Thank you 🌹
Love both the haiku 🙂
Thank you Eric 💜
Beautiful haiku.
Picking you up on the point you made on my recent series, ‘BIRDSONG’,, as in you like the way I upend them. Well, what I have gleaned from all the controversy with/over the in english written haiku is the top and bottom lines should be interchangeable and still make a haiku, Your thoughts ?
Oh! I did not know that …best I check mine out…it’s a clever thought and makes sense!
I know there is a haiku challenge out there that state that in there rules that it must be reversible., like you said it does make sense.
I shall try this rule! 🌹💜
You’ll know when it does not read right when upended.
Alas I will 🌹
You will 🙂 Night, night, early to bed for me, all sorts going on tomorrow/later on..
I need bed now finally tired, night night 🌹
25 to 8 AM, TORRENTIAL overnight rain spoilt my day. 😦
Sorry to hear that lets hope today is better 🌹💜
Forgot the good morning, distracted by my not so good one, hope yours is better! 🙂
So far I have overslept!!
No doubt your wide awake now 🙂 Strange this particular comment of yours, (over slept), I can’t find on google, on Microsoft edge at the mo, going back on google as soon as.
Do you mean you don’t understand overslept. I meant I had a bad night and did not wake up at my usual time. I ‘overslept’ by 2 hours missing a Drs appointment at 8.30am! Luckily the fitted me in at 10.30am. If you didn’t mean that ignore me 😊
No, lol, your comment, “I overslept”,
is nowhere to be found here whilst using Google Chrome, yet on Microsoft Edge it is. The latter is where I access my emails, and that is how I stumbled on the overslept comment, on chrome now and it is still not showing in the notifications, strange, or what?
Very strange 😱
Yep!
Wow nice
Thanks lynz
Thank you TJ lots of good replies to your prompt! 🌹
