poetry, prose, and photography
hints of jasmine
linger in my memory
intense yet hazy
This haiku is my contribution to today’s “haiku challenge” on Twitter.
I’ve been contributing to this for years. It’s one of my favorite parts of Twitter. As the Musk saga devolves, it’s what keeps me coming back. There a delightful community surrounding the challenge.
The image was crafted with Adobe Express using the Lara font.
under the sunlight
crows relaxing with their friends
such tranquil moments
descending sunlight embraces golden hour facing the sunset
as dusk progresses
the moonlight's grace emerges
while I gaze skywards
This photo was taken with my Samsung S22. I am often amazed at what I can shoot with a phone camera nowadays.
slowly opening sunlight hidden by the clouds such gentle motion
between the rain squalls
sunlight mellowed by the clouds
petals unfurling
after the rain squall
laden branches bent downwards
gravity's demands
after the sunset
fir boughs moving in the breeze
the windchimes singing
barefoot through the grass
with the dew cooling my toes
breeze through the blossoms
crows calling
through the morning mists
petals gently fall
