Today's freeXpression prompt was Wedding
This particular prompt was chosen for this week because our oldest son is getting married this weekend (on a mountain top, no less!) So all that went into this week's haikus:
newlywed bliss
celebrate from mountain top
or empty highway
the limo dropped us
then blocked eight lanes of traffic
Instagram selfie
our YouTube channel
we’re going to off-grid right here
we’ll start building soon
starting a new life
delayed with no cabs to hail
and no Ubers
Monday 8am
you can’t hear angry honking
in a photo
domino towers
collapsing into the next
still can’t upstage us
And because I've also started writing prose poetry weekly, I decided to write one thinking about my relationship with Aleesha:
I logged in that day, not expecting anything special to happen. The list of potential matches, always there, lifeless, inert. The daily online dating doom scroll. Habit, not hope, kept bringing me back.
A flaming urn, vibrant, new. Relationship pursued. Swept up by a whirlwind of changes. Chiang Mai is our Oz.
