an oncoming storm
harbinger of future doom
echoes history
Double thanks today–to Sue for a fabulously inspirational photo and to Fandango for the perfect companion word (history).

Deniers (One Year Later)
Reposting in honor of Fandango’s Friday Flashback . Sadly, just as relevant today.
Deniers
imagine the world
not an abstract perception
melting as we klatch

Ljubljana Street Love
Several years ago, I visited Slovenia and fell in love. Not with a person. (I was with my husband and we were—and still are—in love.) No. I fell in love with the place. Everything about Slovenia is beautiful and magical, from the Skocjanske caves and the many lakes to Ljubljana’s Dragon Bridge, beautiful buildings, and the wonderful street art. The decision to embrace the energy of accessible creative expression means that no matter where you are in Ljubljana, there is something fabulous just up ahead. Plus, you can always find a cold Lasko when you need a break.
EXCEPT FOR THE CAVES, ALL PHOTOS WERE MADE BY MYSELF OR MY HUSBAND.
Thanks to What Pegman Saw and Wander Essence for their Photo Challenges. I love a reason to reminisce about one of my favorite places.
Plus a shout out to Fandango’s FOWC for reminding me to keep looking ahead!
Already Lost
the battle goes on
but we’ve already lost
as bullets rain down
This month marks the the anniversary of the Kent State and Jackson State killings. This week, another shooter shot up another campus and the week before that another shooter shot up … and so on and so on…. Plus, I live in Florida where the @#*#@ legislature passed some truly awful things this week including arming teachers and stripping away voting rights with what is essentially a poll tax! I’m in a hopeless kind of mood and Linda’s SoCS prompt to write about something that “falls from the sky” and Fandango’s FOWC prompt “battle” inspired this sad little haiku.
Conditions for Love
to break me, condone
my sins fill a laundry list
plenty to choose from
Thanks to the following for the inspiration (prompts) of laundry, condone, and plenty: Rag Tag Community Word Challenge and Fandango’s FOWC and One Daily Prompt.
