Deep woe.
Feelings run so deep
As our resources run out
Mother Nature’s woe.

Inspiration
Mostly it slips through your fingers like grains of sand.
Hold it up to the light and there will be nothing there, just shadows.
Then just like sunrise it will blind you, fill you with hope as it shows you the way.

In the rivers greenery
Amphibian dreams

The painting below is by Franz Marc, killed at Verdun in 1916. It put me in mind of the Ukrain, a country standing tall in adversity.
ADVERSITY
This is part of Ronovanwrite’s Weekly Sijo Challenge
Bullies cower, smaller nations by oppression.
Raging in, all barrels blasting, no mercy, proving evil garners evil.
Yet the oppressed stood strong and for freedom. Strength in adversity.

Stop now is my advice step away I have had enough.

Autumn leaves will fall
As the weather starts to chill
Lots of Nervous fowl.
As the nights draw in
Turkey Tom fears for his skin
Can he weather it.

All our lives we strive to succeed, but mother nature teaches us to grow.
Some feel to attain certificates proves their worth
I feel to be told “I love you Grandma’ is my greatest achievement.

The Lionesses won the European Football Cup.
They believed in themselves even when many did not, they fought for their dreams and won.
The back of the net is their goal, to be equals to men their aim. Always to excell in the wonderful game.
