bright yellows
oriels and daisies
the busy bees
a red sunbird
flitting sipping nectar
.
sand pails
castles wash back
sunburn shoulders
the sound
of seagulls call
.
buskers
strumming guitars
echoes of love
on the bench
in the square
.

Fading Coastline๐ฉน๐บ๐
ocean fog
swallows the lighthouse
sea monsters
shapeshifting
mami wata
navigation drawn
on ancient parchment
stars look completely unfamiliar
the boat and fisherman
magic relics
realizing
the Sunken Ruins
in forgotten deep
in sight
earthen walls

Lost Civilisation ๐ง♀️๐ง♂️๐
barnacles
on carved
ancient throne
spiral stairs
down the dark surf
bioluminescent
beings
pulled
the moon low
mermaids
sharing their songs
diving beneath
the waves
finding names
history forgot
to record
before
fish stopped talking
when
whales conversed with trees
time
to remember them all

The Edge of the Map
Christina Chin and Marjorie Pezzoli
๐บ๐The Edge of the Map with Paul Callus.
old road signs
strangled by moss
and creeping roots
irretrievable memories
swallowed by time
.
rusted iron fence
buried deep
in wild brambles
marking the bottomless pit
where the earth was flat
.
stepping over
the threshold whispers
in a dead language
unwrapping infidelity’s
traumatic layers
.

Our Best Haiga, Lavana Kray Ed.
Prompt is Coquetry—
coquetry—
first day of school
eyeing little moira
coquetry—
a spaghetti stap slips
off shoulder
coquetry—
Samhain night a glance
through drifting leaf fades
