So that the wheel may turn

my thuggi will come at night

Oh I love the repetition of turning in lines 1 & 3. One representing life and the other death. Really cool🖤

Thanks HG, so happy that it gets a reading like that. I try and empty my mind first so the resonant bits like that can come in. That's the way I learned to do haikus all those centuries ago ;)

What? You don’t compose them with the TV on like me?

Ancient master say - demon picture box drives out images from spirit realm and makes you wish to eat pizza. Both things bad, one for soul, one for belly.

😂 It helps keep the ADHD part of my brain occupied while the writer part writes. I would fail so hard at any ancient esoteric way of art😅

A tree burst in fames

Water poured, the tree swallowed.

Stone king am appears, a white cobra.

Shiva fire did not destroy

Tree leaves are still intact.

I read about this, pretty wild. It’s amazing what nature can do🖤

A stone “lingam” appeared as white cobra .

Hotel Kali boasts…

Continental breakfast, spa

Color TV, death.

I see what you did there😏 I feel like people would still go… like some kind of trendy way for old rich people to die.

Do not hold me down

Your demon slayer rises

Test my wrath and die

Honeygloom's avatar

Love this! So absolutely unapologetic🖤

Oo, I think you conveyed the frenzy there. Also I love that picture.

I feel I'm going to learn a lot here 😅

Kali is a really interesting goddess, I love how wild she is.

Hanna Delaney's avatar

I think it's really interesting that it's a female deity for death and time. I think most mythologies have males in those roles.

Honeygloom's avatar

Oo, stay tuned! We’re going to get into a couple more goddesses in these roles.

Hanna Delaney's avatar

Cool.

I won’t be putting down Western Civilization for a while

Honeygloom's avatar

Are we civilized though? Really?

John Saleeby's avatar

On TV maybe.

Honeygloom's avatar

I don’t watch much TV, I can’t say.

John Saleeby's avatar

I only watch “Two And A Half Men” to keep my hatred running along just right without putting my old metal band back together

Honeygloom's avatar

Wait I thought you were a fan of Western Civilization…

No, that was Newt Gingrich. Now excuse me, I have to go to the hospital to get my wife sign the divorce papers.
