Victory vs Defeat

By transitionofthoughts

In dVerse Challenge, Haiku, Palinode, Poetry

I

Defeat is part and

parcel of life and shouldn’t be

an embarrassment

II

Victory is all

that matters and defeat is

surely an insult

He just left

By transitionofthoughts

In dVerse Challenge, Haiku, Poetry

As I look back, I

keep wondering whether he

really loved me

We started as friends

in school, chit-chatting away

for hours on end

He always made it

a point to do what he could

to see others smile

He always went out

of his way to impress me

or so I observed

When bridges formed connections

By transitionofthoughts

On April 27, 2021

In dVerse Challenge, Haiku, Poetry

The bridge connected

continents as people moved

back and forth each day

But it had been a

year since she crossed over to

meet her special one

Note: As the pandemic keeps going along, there are so many of us who haven’t been able to meet our loved ones for months and years on end.

Her Dreams

While her eyes didn’t aid

her, her hands and feet worked in

Doing your Laundry

By transitionofthoughts

On March 31, 2021

In dVerse Challenge, Haiku, Poetry

Washing, drying and

folding clothes was a routine

he became used to

Once everything was

set, the washing machine came

to life with a rumble

It had a life of

its own making the clothes dance

amidst the detergent

Cycle of Seasons

By transitionofthoughts

On March 26, 2021

In dVerse Challenge, Poetry

As the seasons change, so does a lot in our lives.

While spring is the time for new plans to look forward to,

Summer is the time for so many outdoor activities.

While autumn is the time when colours and seasons change,

Winter is the time for getting in the warmth and spending time with family around the fireplace.

As the seasons change, so does a lot in our lives.
