hopeful but afraid
she holds our world together
daring to be brave

Thanks to Helene for another wonderful “What do you see?” challenge.
Proud to have one of my haiku chosen for the theme of Emergence. Thanks Freya! You can find some hope for spring (and other great haiku) at Pure Haiku
shoots of deep green rise
daffodils wake from slumber
and hope springs alive
Plus (spoiler alert) there’s more coming down the road!

drops float in the air
a prism of light and color
held in a moment
before they swim to the earth
bathing the colors of spring

Thanks for the inspiration to Ronovan Write’s Haiku Challenge (float/swim) and Colleen’s Poet’s Choice Tanka Tuesday Challenge

Dreaming of the past
When lanterns blazed the night sky
And stars sparkled bright
Illuming a boundless hope
For tomorrow’s future

In the midst of all the terrible awful horrible things happening in the good ol’ USA, I have been feeling a bit hopeless. I’ve also been thinking (dreaming) of traveling (escaping). Sadly my budget no longer supports much in the way of travel abroad but Linda’s Just Jot January prompt (Paris), courtesy of Forty and Fantastique fit my mood perfectly. And THEN I saw Helene’s What Do You See photo prompt and it all came together.
So thanks to all. GO! Visit their sites for some great writing and the rules to the games.
to forgive the past
is only enigmatic
if unrecognized

Today’s haiku inspired by the always there when ya need him FOWC (forgive) and Linda’s new challenge to #JusJoJan with a little help from Virgo Beauty Word Prompt (enigmatic) I’m late to the game but I’ve arrived now.
