Colleen Chesebro’s Weekly #Poetry Challenge #Haiku #Haibun – Leftovers

December 7, 2019 /

This week’s Poetry Challenge at Colleen Chesebro’s blog is a free-write. I’ve chosen to write a Haibun coupled with a Haiku.

Colleen’s 2019 Weekly #Tanka Tuesday #Poetry Challenge No. 156, #Poet’sChoice

The insecurities we grow inside are not imagined, rather manufactured by those who use intentional malice to belittle us. These slights and insults play an integral part in slicing a self-esteem and leaving one feeling insignificant.

Leftovers

Last choice for team picks,

Last minute invitations,

Last words that linger.

Please visit Colleen’s Challenge and join in the fun!

    It wasn’t much fun but I think it helped me to be more inclusive as an adult.

Change in Writing Habits, Book Break the New Book
Today I’m talking about how I notice some of my writing habits have changed through the years. When I wrote my first 6 books, I was disciplined differently. I did my writing first thing in the morning right after breakfast – or the day would surely distract me. But as the order of life […]
