Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

memories bloom

Dust Bowl memories

strewn like weeds in her mind’s eye

bloom as fragrant buds

Sometimes the muse strikes hard! Thanks to Sadje’s WDYS Challengefor the beautiful photo. That smile!!!  She immediately struck a very specific chord in my mind and heart and to Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge for (unwittingly?) providing the perfect words (dust / weed).

bliss

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!

Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

finding joy

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!

Snow Light

forest snow ignites 

starlight and frolicking flakes

exhilaration
