finishing the grind
as the kettle starts to sing
practice makes perfect
In honor of NaPoWriMo, this haiku is an ode to one of life’s small pleasures. For me it’s making our morning coffee. I love the whole process from grinding the beans to pushing the plunger on our French press. It’s an art and a science that never quite produces the same taste.
And as it sometimes happens, Linda’s SoCS prompt of “practice”was a perfect splash of milk to complete my thoughts. Thanks!
we muddle through it
to greet a new age with love
and live life once more

In keeping with Linda’s SoCS’s dictate to do minimal editing, I wrote this 16 word (17 syllable) haiku on the fly but I think it captures the essence of my (our?) world right now. Peace. And thanks to Sammi for the added challenge and inspiration!
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL POETRY DAY!
shimmering and new
too luminous to conceal
dawn’s first light rises
Thanks to Sue and her #writephoto challenge.
New day. New hope!
MADNESS TAKES ITS TOLL
LIKE THE CLOUDS BEFORE THE DAWN
DANCING WITH THE LIGHT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks to Fandago’s Word Prompt (madness) for taking my mind to one of my favorite shows of all time. And thanks to Sue’s Photo Prompt for the added inspiration. Originally my brain took the “madness takes its toll” idea to a DARK place, but Sue’s photo brought me back to the light.
And as a reminder …
as dark becomes dawn
day reveals a new promise
brilliantly composed
Thanks to Sammi Scribbles (illumination) and With Real Toads (seizing the day)
