This Woman Has True Grit

Let me tell you about a good friend of mine.  When she has something, she wants to do she goes out there and does it. Being achievement-oriented with long term goals she’s full of confidence and creativity. No matter what the situation is, good or bad, Charli will fight for what she believes in for herself and others.  This gal has moxie and has true grit.

 

What’s true grit to you

Someone fighting with their might

For you and for me

 

Courageous as hell

Never giving up or in

Supportive to all

 

Confident

Harmonious

Accepting

Reliable

Loving

Idealistic

Night Sky

IWH Haiku challenge #34

All I saw were stars

Astronomically challenged

Someone help me out

 

The vast universe

So many constellations

Are ours to explore

 

Wonderous night sky

Truly beautiful to see

During a clear night

She yelled at me loud

Obviously, cross today

Twisted story heard

 

What was it you heard?

As I twisted my long hair

The cross is missing

 

From where I asked her

The alters cross at the church

That is a twisted lie

Windows

Fandango flash fiction

Gazing out window

Watching life passing them by

Wondering outcome

=================

Dolls in a window

For all passers-by to see

Little girls behold

================

Window to our lives

So much passes before us

Not missing anything

================

Wanting to escape

Too far to jump to be free

Someone will see us

==============

Convicted – Senryu

Haiku challenge #32

Shamed guilty faces

Found expressionless and stiff

Convicted rightly

Music from the past

Broken keys once played with love

Lonely forgotten

One Dark Scary Night

This poem was written for I Write Her Weekly Haiku/Senryu Challenge #21.

Weekly Haiku Challenge #21

Full moon, eerie night

Mesmerizing, rolling clouds

Hearing shrieks through gloom

Illumination

So I can see my way clear

When darkness begins

through a window

Dark Rainy Night

Christmas Lights
