I was honored to once again have my work chosen by Pure Haiku. It truly brings me joy in a time when joy seems fleeting. Please visit Pure Haiku to read my my submission and the many other fantastic interpretations for the Encircling theme.

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
Pure Haiku Featured Writer (2-4)
Please don’t let my tardiness be mistaken for diminished gratitude! It’s just been a chaotic week.
Thank you so much to Freya for the opportunity and Elisa Ang for choosing me as Unfurling’s Featured Writer. I’m still gobsmacked by your choice!
Also thanks to #WritePhoto for a perfect photo inspiration to illustrate my gratitude and to Alethea for the photo. In thanks, I’ll unfurl another haiku. LOL I’m sure you see what I did there 😉
a moment of joy
written across the blue sky
the rainbow unfurls

Thanks once again to Freya for choosing one of my haiku for her Dancing Goddess challenge.
seeking clarity
she transcends earth’s gravity
free in her mind’s eye

Creating haiku feeds my soul but I also love to write short fiction, mini travel logs, and history pieces.
This haiku is part of our Dancing Goddess theme.
