Pretext to forgive
To err an onslaught to good
sense. Feigned to please
Disturbed divine light
Cavorting in sinful acts
Squirming in darkness
Sensed life’s tortuous ways
Divine wisdom called upon
to right paths of sin
Written for Brian's dVerse's OpenLinkNight #61 and Haiku Height’s September Heights Day 11 P# 170 with prompt – divine -
Nice triplet Kaykuala, especially the third one is my favorite. Great job.
ReplyDeleteSuch paths can take a ton
ReplyDeleteTo right under the sun
But with enough work
Surely can do it with a smirk
A lot going on here. The ying/yang of it all. Nice write!

ReplyDeleteI think the light when disturbed does seem to flail here and there...

I like the calling for divine wisdom ~
ReplyDeleteI'd venture to say that 99.9% of the human race knows what it's like to be cavorting in sinful acts!
ReplyDeleteDivine
These sort of all tie up and balance, Hank--I love the idea of tulips as divine, as well, full of that light you're talking about.
ReplyDeleteNice piece, Hank.
ReplyDeleteHank, life is all about the ying and yang, isn't it? Nice write and I love the pic.

Any pretext to forgive is good for either side! (And some squirming sin isn't always so bad either!) k.
ReplyDeleteI love where you put the line break in this part:
ReplyDeleteTo err an onslaught to good
sense
