Hammy the hamster
Was such a little prankster
He hid in dad’s shoe
When dad stepped into
Are you ready for this one
Squish, Hammy no more

the moon peaking at twilight
darkness soon to come

Brilliance of colours
Shine through stained glass reflecting
yellows, blues, and reds

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

This was written for a challenge over at Carrot Ranch. In 99 words, no more, no less write about “true grit”.

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

Marvelous news day
Results are in and I’m clear
Feeling terrific

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

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
==============
These Senryus were written for Fandango’s Flash Fiction Challenge.

Shamed guilty faces
Found expressionless and stiff
Convicted rightly

This Senryu was written for I Write Her Weekly Haiku/Senryu.
Music from the past
Broken keys once played with love
Lonely forgotten
