early morning darkness
I shiver, alive

calming sunlight
graceful arc through the trees
hope arrives before spring
WordPress Word Of The Day: Vendetta
standing under clouds
the squirrels and crows arguing
ancient vendettas?
I discovered the WordPress “Word of the Day” challenge a long-time ago. Getting these prompts helped keep my creative side engaged. Then the WordPress team ended that project. Fortunately, others have stepped up to keep that initiative going.
Today’s word is “vendetta“. A challenging word, especially for my focus on haiku. As I watch the crows and squirrels quibble over the breadcrumbs in my backyard, I came up with this one. I hope you enjoy it!
The Motion Of Life
sunlight reaching me
right through the clouds and the trees
the motion of life
A day where change culminated. Some joyful, some less so. Forward motion, though: progress.

A Walk In The Woods
a winter walk
calmness amongst the trees
crows chattering
My Contribution to the @Baffled #HaikuChallenge
Today’s word: think.
underneath the trees
forest’s calmness helps me think
needed clarity
Forests calm me. Birdsong, the scent of firs, a gentle breeze. All bring tranquility.
Today’s FOWC: Trouble
This is my contribution for the Fandango One-Word Challenge. Today’s challenge word: trouble.
sunlight in the sky
within that deception
trouble is hidden
Morning Light
in the morning light
possibility singing
never surrender
Always Look Forwards
1always look forwards
freeing ourselves from the past
creating beauty
