Hedgehog so spiky
Seeing you is a rare treat
Scuttling tiny feet

Bruised pride and dirty knees
A long walk back home

Missing a wife make the haiku complete
I can't pass on a challenge, when it comes to poetry especially. But this one is mega hard. We're challenged to complete a Basho haiku from the early seventeenth century.
missing a wife
the bamboo grass dives under
.........
I tried:
missing a wife
the bamboo grass dives under
trouble and strife
But it was too flippant.
I tried:
missing a wife
the bamboo grass dives under
giving up on life
But that was a little depressing.
I tried:
missing a wife
the bamboo grass dives under
cutting like a knife
At which point I admitted defeat. At least I tried Hey? As did others at carpe diem

Little flower #thanbauk
Small bud on wing
To me sing now
You bring me love
This was written for the "Little Ones" episode #6 from Carpe Diem; it is a Burmese poetry form called 'Thanbauk'.
It consists of three lines of four syllables each. Traditionally, they are full of humour. It also has a rhyme in it. The rhyme is on the fourth syllable of the first line, the third syllable of the second, and on the second syllable of the third.

Symbiotic Trinity #haiku
Father of us all
Son, made man, came down to earth
Spirit still here now
We believe in one
We believe in three of them
Three are one are all
These haiku are written in response to carpe diem prompt "symbiotic".

Day 15. Wave of Light. #captureyourgrief
Tonight my little stars
I think of you and cry
I wish you could have stayed
It hurt to say goodbye

Day 7. You Now. #captureyourgrief
Day 7. You Now.
#captureyourgrief
Now you are light
Bright in my heart
Yet invisible to everyone else.
Now you are love
Growing in heaven
Protected from the pain on Earth.

The Butterfly Awards - Seven days to vote
This is the tenth babyloss awareness week I'll live through knowing exactly why it's needed. This year it's such a massive week ahead of me. There's a book launch on Friday; the babyloss remembrance service on Sunday and a week of voting for the Butterfly Awards.
How do I feel right now?
This is some of it.
This is some of it.
Seven days to go
We'll remember them all
The babies who died too soon
Seven days from now
I'll blow out the lights
Until all that's left is the moon
Seven days will go
So fast, I know
Listening to remembrance service's tune
We'll remember them all
The babies who died too soon
Seven days from now
I'll blow out the lights
Until all that's left is the moon
Seven days will go
So fast, I know
Listening to remembrance service's tune
Seven days to go
How it'll be, I don't know
I'm putting my nerves away
Seven days from now
I'll be at the end of
A long and emotional day
Seven days will go
Some fast, some slow
My memories only will stay
How it'll be, I don't know
I'm putting my nerves away
Seven days from now
I'll be at the end of
A long and emotional day
Seven days will go
Some fast, some slow
My memories only will stay
Seven days to go
For you to vote
For me, if you can share
Seven days from now
The counting will start
For all those who help and care
Seven days will go
So fast, I know
With The Butterfly Awards in public glare
For you to vote
For me, if you can share
Seven days from now
The counting will start
For all those who help and care
Seven days will go
So fast, I know
With The Butterfly Awards in public glare

You'll forget this day"
But I'll never forget you in any way.

Day 1. Sunrise. #captureyourgrief
Even in the darkest days
When everything is black
One thing to know: the sun will rise
Its rays will warm your back
