April #AtoZChallenge and #PoetryMonth
1. To celebrate my appreciation of life
2. To experience the process of writing linked poetry, a form of Japanese renshi
3. To give thanks for and better appreciate a life well-lived.
The flowers are a colorful bonus for the #AtoZChallenge

R is for Riots and Rebellions (and incongruously . . .for this beautiful Rose)

RIOTS AND REBELLION
Riots
Society
on the edge
Politics,
redefining lives
Anger
Mankind
engaged in war
Family
structure, realigned
Rebellion
Control
in flux
Freedom,
the goal
Question
not
what
you see, but
the
lack of change
*** *** ***
What emotions surface when one has no control over circumstances?
Hi Gail - my thoughts turn to something someone said on my post about a mob of sheep being followers, similar to humans - no thought as to why they are rioting - well maybe some thought - but not worked through with all that a mob or riot can lead to.
ReplyDeleteLove the rose - what a delightful remembrance of your ancestral home - beautiful ... cheers Hilary

Yes, I am amazed every time I look at that photo of the rose. It is so perfectly shaped, it looks almost surreal. In such a display of perfection, it is easy to imagine a modicum of control in our own lives.
