This week has been a cornucopia of madness, so today’s post is accomplishing several goals.

1. Last week’s assignment from Story 101 was to write something out of your comfort zone. I chose form poetry, because my poetry doesn’t generally like to follow the rules. My sonnet is giving me fits.  So hello, haiku.
2. One of my goals made with the online writing group with Andilit was to post two blog posts this week.  This makes two.  Done!
3. And I am linking up with Lisa-Jo Baker’s Five Minute Friday, hosted this week by Crystal Stine.  Join us and add your two cents (or rather, five minutes). The prompt is “belong.”

And go:

You belong with me

Like cats curled together warm

Even in summer

Sky plummets to earth

Horizon fights off the wind

Somehow they belong

A sea of people

Often I wonder – will I

Ever belong here?

Clouds burst; rain comes; lush

I breathe in the rooted ground,

Belonging to it.

And because I just can’t help myself…

Whirr, boil, brew, inhale

My heart belongs to coffee.

Bearable morning
