the sun still rises
Kenny's Haikuplet Challenge
Sun does not seem right,
when my heart's a raging storm,
churning a great sea.
But still, it rises,
while the world keeps on turning,
and I must rise too.

Nature's Alchemy
The Earth is the stone, And nature, the alchemist, Turning something new. 🌄🌄🌄 This poem was originally written as part of this year's Storytelling Collective April Daily Poem challenge. This year's theme used titles from Taylor Swift's album The Tortured Poets Department as the prompt. This one was inspired by the title "the alchemy".

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

SO good! 🩷 love that concept of the sun not feeling right when there's something wrong with our heart ... as if nature itself knows our pain.
Nicely done. I agree when you are feeling down you sort of expect the sun not to shine to reflect your feelings. For me its an encouragement if the day does not reflect my feelings.
Beautifully written 🤩… I’’ have to check his challenge out😊
Raw, honest and yet still determined and hopeful! Well done, Kelsey!
This is a wonderfully expressed Haikuplet that feels sad to me. I loved the way you linked the rising sun with moving on, poetic and beautiful. Very nice, Kelsey!
Some great words. As I look out my window there are black clouds and bright sun. High temperatures and thunderstorms are forecast.
Great philosophical haiku, Kelsey!
