The Daily Haiku – 6th Weekly Theme, Music 2

Music 2

Music is an

enchantment, that takes us far

away from our minds.

ancestors' songs whisper
through the branches of
ancient trees – like anthems

rousing us from our apathy
standing up against Injustice 

we warrior women will rise!

we record our stories

as we live and die and
go to who knows where?

do we end or begin again?
for in endings are beginnings,
are our spirits destined to go on?

smoke from a wild fire
started maliciously, seen
from the satellite;
blows across the North West,
lunacy at its worst

✈️💙Free Verse 92 – Transitions💙✈️ 💙✈️13/07/2026

#freeverse #poetry

With our feet planted firmly on the
earth, we are grounded and balanced.
We are in the here and now, the
present moment which is all we have.

When we go up or down life's ladder;
we are in transition, unsteady, moving
from one step to the other, one foot
at a time, hanging on with our hands.

We are initiating or following change.
Which is a constant in our human life.
Change disturbs our equilibrium, makes
us unsteady on each rung of the ladder.

Yet time does not stand still so we move,
up or down as circumstance dictates.
Sometimes three steps forward, two
steps back, quickly or slow and steady.

Life itself is a balancing act; times when
we must act, and times of acceptance.
We learn that we have responsibility 
only for ourselves and for our actions.

We may influence others but we do not
control them, especially our families.
We have to let things go and move on
with great kindness and compassion.

We forgive and are forgiven; we love
and are loved in return, self love and
acceptance of who we are is an act
of balance and grounding ourselves.

🎙🫧Event /Review – Pride 2026🎙🫧13/07/2026

#event #announcement #review

Pride 2026 was its usual colourful loud and proud parade and entertainment on the stage in Parliament Square on Saturday, 11th July 2026.

There was face painting, lots of stalls and a bar from a fire engine called Thirst Responder.

People were singing and dancing. There was a lovely, friendly, atmosphere and the acts were really good. My personal favourite was Cher Eternal.

I saw a lot of feather boa trimmed cowboy hats and some lovely rainbow feather boas! I want one of those for next year.

Sam Hewitt was a fabulous DJ and singer in his own right and kept the party going despite the heat.

Well done to all the acts, compéres, and
organising team. Another Loud and Proud event.
