suburban wanders
as fresh cut grass’ scent dances
memories awake
Today’s Word of the Day Challenge features “fresh”. As it’s spring here in the suburbs of Seattle, and I’m listening to a mower’s drone, this flowed from my keyboard.

Earthbound Blossoms
petals scattering
memories of fading spring
summer whispers “soon”
Watching the trees shed their blossoms’ petals is both beautiful and sad. Summer comes on the death of spring.
Mists flowing the trees
mists flowing through trees
moisture upon the petals
dreaming of the sun
Word of the Day Challenge: Traffic, A Haiku
feet moving southwards
a moment free of traffic
memories of the road
Today’s Word of the Day Challenge is Traffic. I took the photo above on one of last week’s daily walks. Memories of long-ago road trips. That moment of breaking free from the urban, of the slog of traffic, facing the freedom, and cruelty, of the road. Washington and Oregon’s backroads, where one goes for miles without seeing other cars. When you do, only the briefest intersection, a burst of rushing wind, abruptly quieting to nothing. Only my engine’s hum remains.
A Walk In The Woods
underneath the trees
sunlight and clouds dance above
feet upon the earth
Kissed by Sunlight
kissed by the sunlight
dancing upon the spring breeze
the arc of petals
gazing skyward
sunlight flows through the trees
crows laughing boldly
Snoozing Through Winter
snoozing through winter
slowly awakening
morning’s gentle rain
Today’s “Word of the Day Challenge” is Snooze. These words came while watching rhododendron blooms slowly come to life this week.
Mysteries
next to the sidewalk
what strange story exists here?
today’s mystery
From My Garden
upon the spring breeze
the delight of butterflies
and soon they will fade
