echoes linger
mocking in the shadows
mid barren trees

tendencies of souls at risk
symbolic of this season

hopelessness
leaving far too many
unhinged

Daily Moments October 21, 2016 habits of the times Solo No Renga

Published by Tournesol

A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com Namaste! View all posts by Tournesol

    Yes, the shorter days and less sun sure make a difference. Our son had one friend commit suicide one September. The next year in October another friend did the same thing. On Halloween the junior class was having a memorial service. The guys came to my house and were sitting around all morose. I marched to the bathroom, pulled out rolls of toilet paper and told them to go be teenagers on Halloween. I mean there comes a time when one just has to move away from the sadness in order to maintain sanity.

    I’m afraid we get lots of crisis calls from now until next Spring…part and parcel with our work.

  It is sometimes the reality of some but yes, hopefully few.
