This is getting tougher…doubt settling in. I hope to complete this thirty-day Carpe Diem November Tan Renga Challenge but, suck in my breath through teeth, maybe this was not a good idea, stop now, no one will notice…day 18, but really, it is day 19 in the challenge. I failed one day. It was early on but I managed to slap doubt in the face and jumped back in.
Today. Another heavy round of fighting.
No, no…I am going on – persevering and not quitting!
Here is **Joanne from 4 Joy and her lovely haiku followed by my two, seven-syllable melodramatic completion:
by the shallow pond
reflection drawing northern fowl
a warm sun shimmers**
disturb fighting geese within
fluctuating emotions
Just wondering…so how does one get through the roadblock of doubt with ease & little commotion?
