OctPoWriMo Days #2 and 3

Talking the theme of fears for this month, works really well, as I have had a full year of fears, tears, anger, and the like. It is turning into a bit of therapy as I dive in. I am doing some of these prompts out of order, as I don't always feel inspired when the Pantoym prompt came out. I love pantoums though. Their ability to tell a story within the confines of the prom is natural for me. also, I also, love haiku. Haiku are super easy to write.

Today's fare is haiku for day 2 and pantoum for day 3. The pantoum is based on a lot of what I have been feeling lately, and it's been very therapeutic to write it.

Haiku:

Pantoum:

Battle Fears

Feel the sharp pain,

A reminder of mistakes--

Don't want to remember,

Like a bad dream.

A reminder of mistakes

Could it happen again?

Like a bad dream,

Turning up in my head.

Could it happen again?

A whirlwind of images, 

Turning up in my head

And I cannot sleep.

A whirlwind of images

And I am now dizzy

And I cannot sleep

As the tears shower my face.

And I ask now dizzy,

Don't want to remember

As the tears shower my face.

Feel the sharp pain.

Now, time for Inktober/Artsnacks prompt, path and books. I had fun drawing this one and colouring it in too.
