It is August and so Jane is doing : a chain of images each one suggested by the last word in the preceding poem. They’ll be short, a single image of just a few lines. It will be interesting to see where it ends up by the end of the month.
Kat will be doing short 3,4, or 5 line poems no syllable counts of rhymes, starting with the word ‘August’ on the first day. The last word of the poem will be the first word of day two’s poem, and so on until the end of the month.
Finally I shall be doing all types of poetry but each poem will start with the last word in the preceding poem.
Today’s poem is a Haibun.
Care for caring’s sake
Care weighs heavy on me. The light struggles with the dark clouds. I sit in the lounge as the clock ticks and the rain hits the window. I breath slowly trying to rid the fear and pain within. Events from the evening before fill my mind. Words taken out of context only tell half story. I care when I should not, it will be taken up and thrown back at me.
Care for caring’s sake
Rips my soul, exposed it ache
It’s my soul that breaks.

This is my entry for Sue Vincent’s, of The Daily Echo, #writephoto Circle.
Circle of Stone
Just another monochrome day break.
We took the path from the big lake.
Cold and silent no bird calls
In fear I stumble, fall
Hands lift me up high
Cold stone alter
Where I lie
Now I
Die.
