Why I curse the night sky
Sky-ku
You look down, see all,
then shrug your glittering cloak
as you turn away.
About the Creator
Sonia Heidi Unruh
I love: my husband and children; all who claim me as family or friend; the first bite of chocolate; the last blue before sunset; solving puzzles; stroking cats; finding myself by writing; losing myself in reading; the Creator who is love.

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."

oh my love this! wouldn't be surprised if this makes it on the winning list!
I think this says all. How many of us would feel the same way? Sheesh humanity! Sheesh!
Loved the imagery and tone of this. So well done
💕❤️
Wow! I see the double meaning in this poem
Well-wrought! I love the metaphor of the "glittering cloak"!
