One-Liner Wednesday — Obstacles
Touch
Forgiveness brings the softest touch
Yet smashes walls to let in light.
We throw away the leper’s crutch.
The snow that bothered us so much
Now sparkles like bright stars of night.

Squares
Four lines define the boxy square
That keeps us safely trapped somewhere.
A circle in the ceiling might
Let in wet rain and dry sunlight.
Between these squares and circles we
Live out our dreams for harmony.

Dancing Leaf
A leaf won’t blame the maple tree
When summer warmth is gone.
Forgive the fall. Through winter see
Fresh spring to dream upon.
Lined to dVerse Meeting the Bar. Bjorn is hosting with the theme of metaphor. Also linked to Debbie Roth’s Forgiving Fridays.

From Dreams to Reality
I wink and then it all goes real.
The former dreams now make me feel
Like everything was there to heal.
I fantasize a pleasant way
To whisper happiness to you.
I send you dreams of every day
So wilder daydreams may come true.
Linked to K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge with the theme “From Dreams to Reality”. I am also linking this to dVerse Quadrille. De Jackson (aka WhimsyGizmo) is hosting with the theme word “wink”.

Two Haiku by Pat Kopanda
hungry birds
fly in to sip and a dip
morning repast
mourning doves
setting sail in the birdbath
sails billow

One-Liner Wednesday — Happy Halloween
The present is a chance to make a choice and change.
(And that’s the third time I changed this quote. Happy Halloween!)
