The Dungeon
Haiku
A collapsed sea cave,
Beaten blue by ocean waves.
I ask, did it hurt?

Snacktime Sonata Challenge Winners
Well, your Snacktime Sonatas made us hungry, and that’s about the highest compliment we have. Food — taste, smell, sensation — is a powerful conduit to the past, to memories pleasurable and painful and sometimes bittersweet, a mixture of comfort and challenge. Congratulations to Penny Fuller for Sativa — it’s a first win for Penny — a hymn to the “secret, unbounded/freedoms” of fresh peas in the pod. The narrative voice of the poem doesn’t really want to be outside, but finds joy in the green things of the earth; this is a lovely work of resilience.

Oh I like this haiku best!
That one's clever!
An excellent take on the beauty and danger of nature.
So much said in just a few words. Love!
One can think of it that nature is cruel (and it is, am I wrong?), But also that's the way how things evolve, gain their shape, and experience. We should withstand the pain. I wouldn't ask the cave if it hurt (it did), I'd offer my hand :)
Lovely words. Enter more in the challenge.
enjoyed this one. ty
I love this! 💕🙂
