somewhere far from now
we’ll wake to dance again
blissfully alive
Day Two: Once again, choosing to look for hope in the midst of everything. We’ll see how long this lasts!

a day without flaw
as we walk towards the storm
seizing the moment
I’ve no intention of ignoring the very real mess we’re in BUT I am trying to remember that I still have joy in my life. So in attempt number … (I’ve lost track!) I am choosing to recognize my happy places. Thanks for helping me commemorate those moments goes to Ronovan Writes haiku challenge (day / flaw) and to Restless Jo who shares my love for a good walk!
excess vanity
his verbal diarrhea
infecting us all
Trying to purge as I wait (hope / plan / plot) for a curative blue wave.
Thanks for the inspiration to Fandango’s word of the day (verbal) challenge.
I’m bought and worn, but
I ain’t no dupe to trick, so
mask on, show up, vote
No one’s coming to save us so we must save ourselves. MASK ON. SHOW UP. VOTE.
Thanks to MindLoveMiserysMenagerie for giving me a forum to vent.
dawn shines her first light
and Monday’s child, fair of face,
casts her eyes downward
Obviously my little haiku owes a thanks to the unknown writer of this 19th century children’s poem:
Monday’s child is fair of face
Tuesday’s child is full of grace
Wednesday’s child is full of woe
Thursday’s child has far to go,
Friday’s child is loving and giving,
Saturday’s child works hard for a living,
And the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.
It was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw Fandango’s Monday prompt. Or maybe the second or third. I also thought of the songs “I Don’t Like Mondays” and “Monday, Monday” but I was trying to avoid super depressing stuff. Plus, the adorable monkey photo cinched the deal. I LOVE monkeys. They ARE “fair of face.”
So happy Monday to all. Find a bit of joy today if you can. And thanks also to What Do You See challenge for the wonderful monkey photo and to Ronovan’s Haiku challenge words (eyes and light).
