Love's Power - #WDYS #dVerse #PoetsPub #haiku #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity @YvetteMCalleiro



Hello, beautiful readers! Today is the first day of school in my part of the world. I'm excited to meet my new students. The first two days of school are always exhausting, so I thought I'd try to get in a quick poem written before I begin the day.

I'm combining two prompts today because I will not have time to partake in all the prompts I enjoy completing this week. The first one is the What Do You See? prompt. Sadje provides us two photos, and I chose the one below. The second prompt is dVerse's Poets Pub prompt, where Lisa invites us to focus on the idea of power. I've decided to focus on the idea of strength, a synonym for power. I've written a haiku for these prompts.

love's strength provides safety net
cubs survive and thrive


Would you like to write a poem for either of these prompts? Join us here.

  4. You’ve handled both the challenges so well in this haiku. A mother loves and trains her children/ cubs to face life with strength. Thanks for joining in.
    Sadje.
