before evenstar
after the glow of the day
life’s final flicker
Thanks for the inspiration to Sadje at Keep it Alive.

in the calm
in the calm, he waits
as petulant clouds concede
yielding to the light
Thanks to Word of the Day Challenge (petulant) and Your Daily Word Prompt (concede) for the inspiration to help me get back into writing.

his eyes
clear as a blue sea
unknown depths in that moment
love shimmered beneath
After a long absence, I’m back…at least for a day. Thanks to Linda’s SoCS Challenge for the writing inspiration and my blue-eyed man for love’s inspiration.
golden blue surrender
a day turns golden
the sea hums a lullaby
sweet blue surrender

Life Unfurls
Recently, I had the honor of being chosen by Elisa Ang as the Featured Writer for Pure Haiku’s Unfurling theme. When Elisa explained why she chose me, she noted that
the writer expresses life’s journey–from the time it springs forth to the time it bids farewell in profoundly creative way…”
I absolutely love that she got what I was trying to do! So one last thank you to Freya and Elisa and a new thank you to Colleen’s Poet’s Choice Challenge for providing me the opportunity to present the five haiku as the fluid set I imagined them to be.
naïve, dawn springs forth
suckled by the morning dew
to create new life
ensnared by margins
feral and tempestuous
verdant youth rebels
patterns and fresh shapes
once green but now withering
nature’s grand design
childhood memories
flutter like lace in a breeze
setting my mind free
an echo repeats
revealing infinity
but still our time ends
