Gladitorial Haiku

Kingdom of Loathing:
Gladitorial Haikus!
Yay, paid work in fall!

Two Grand Duels I've fought;
I've shed blood, I've moved mountains;
Yes, the Haiku is Here!

Line 1 becomes 3;
3 unchosen judges judge
10 rounds to the death!

Dancing Rainbows

Rainbow Waves

vibrant colours
soft, liquid textures,
flowing into each other,
rainbow waves crashing on the shores of infinity;
through their simple flowing beauty I find peace, joy, love.
communion with the divine source;
microcosms of inspiration;
still images taken in the moment, in the now;
in me, through me;
of the ever-changing, infinite ocean
from which we all
spring and return
in endless,
glorious,
ever-evolving
cycles.

My Spirit Name

As I walked from the forest into the sunlit field, I was greeted by the chorus of a multitude of hidden grasshoppers. I sat amongst the fragrant grasses and flowers, and the singing rose in a great crescendo. My heart soared with peace and gratitude as I felt my oneness with Mother Earth. The name "Singing Grass" reminds me to appreciate the magic that is within and around us all.
