A Haiku Response To Fandango’s One-Word Challenge

Today’s prompt is “elevate”. I’ve been thinking about birds today, so here is my contribution.


still beneath the clouds
birds dancing upon the wind
elevate spirits

Energize: A Haiku

Today’s One-Word Challenge (by Fandango) prompt is “energize”. This one might be more of a senryu than a haiku, but in today’s vernacular, “haiku” is often referred to as the 17 syllable poems in the 3 lines (5-7-5), so, here we are.

Tea is my preferred way to caffeinate, though I’m fond of coffee, too. A cup of tea on my couch, ideally with a book: a delightful way to start the day.


seeking to energize 
within the morning darkness
slowly sipping tea

Dusk In Edmonds

Dusk in Edmonds

such a graceful sight
as sun moves down the mountain
night’s beauty gathers


This is my contribution to the Fandango One Word Challenge for today: “such”. Not the easiest word to create from, I must say.

I took this photo a few days ago along the waterfront of Edmonds, WA, just a short drive from my house. It’s one of my favorite places.

Haiku Response to the FOWC: Disparage

Haiku 4-4-21

who can disparage
the wind’s grace within the sky
bird’s dance on the wing

This is my response to the Fandango Word Of The Day Challenge: “disparage”. One of my photos taken earlier this week, image edited in Adobe Spark, font Lora Regular.

the crow’s colleague in the trash
staunchest of allies

Here’s my contribution to the Fandango Word of the Day Challenge: Staunch.

sunlight in the sky
within that deception
trouble is hidden

words flow from keystrokes
there are times I feel adept
rain cools my ego

The Heat of Summer

I really appreciate that Fandango picked up the theme of Word of the Day challenges. Today’s word is “finish”.

The heat of summer
I long for it to finish.
I do love autumn

Today’s Haiku: Verbal

Woolly Muses, a blog I’ve followed for awhile, posted their contribution to today’s FOWC (Fandango’s One-Word Challenge), with the key-word “verbal“. I enjoy these challenges, and I believe they solidly grow my creativity.

So, here’s my contribution:

words dance off my pen
verbal graces in sunlight
moving through silence
