Good job with that 3WW prompt!
nimue:
I would love to grace your mind for a few minutes. So much going on…so much wonder.

Enjoyed both of these. Excellent.
I also liked them both. Is there a style of Haiku that uses five lines or is it called something else? I need to study the different poetry forms as it was so many years ago that I studied that and never read or wrote poetry after that. But I am enjoying learning about it here. Hugs, pat
Tanka, I believe, is a “form” of Haiku; consists of five lines using 5-7-5-7-7. xoxox
You never disappoint, Nimue. The 2nd one, especially, struck me as I see so much corruption in the political arena here in my country. It saddens me so much that these people abuse the power entrusted to them.
Sometimes I get stuck, writer’s block, and thoughts don’t come. Glad it hasn’t happened recently. “Incensed dreams” – Like the use of senses here!
Both excellent pieces… the first is my favorite.
Very nice, Nimue!! It is always a pleasure to visit …
interesting style to this. I loved them both
Wonderful =)
both are brilliant nimue.

fear of loss whould never stop one ot go for the DREAMS …
thats why they say when the going gets tough the tough get going …
‘heal yourself by love’..I love that! Jae
Lovely pieces these two.
I particularly liked that second one!
This could say so much about so many things so will speak volumes to whoever reads it. Nicely done.
mind of yours, Amazing 🙂 loved both
Powerful pieces, both, regardless the form or what they are called.
Love and power and corruption. Is there anything more fundamental to the human condition?
These both deserve further contemplation.

Power is a real soul-sucker. Witness George W. Bush, Donald Trump… you dealt with this well in your second offering, including the needed recovery from being “under the thumb.” Loved them both, Nimue! Amy
