A Walk In The Woods

A Walk In The Woods

underneath the trees
sunlight and clouds dance above
feet upon the earth

Mysteries

Sink By The Sidewalk

next to the sidewalk
what strange story exists here?
today’s mystery

From My Garden

From the Garden

upon the spring breeze
the delight of butterflies
and soon they will fade

An Animated Haiku

within this spring breeze

the flower has transformed

gracing the spring air


Today I experimented with creating animation with Adobe Spark. A fun creation, and I have a ton to learn. What do you think?

Word of the Day Challenge: Abandoned

troubling my mind
why was this place abandoned?
these lives forgotten


Today’s Word of the Day Challenge features the word “abandoned”, which reminded me of all the houses I’ve seen, empty, decaying. I wonder about the lives that were there before. I wonder about what caused these places to be left behind. What joys, sadnesses and pain have faded into oblivion?

The nightโ€™s calmness

in the night’s calmness

I delight in the silence

stars in the spring sky

Daffodils

the daffodilโ€™s gaze

loving glance in the spring sun

a gentle breeze blows

Winter Haikus

A friend of mine just forwarded me this comic featuring some clever haiku/senryu, and I wanted to share these with you. I find them delightful.

Unfortunately, the creator wasn’t cited in the email. Fortunately, a quick image search turned up “Cul De Sac, the blog of Richard Thompson“. Here’s the link to the original post, from 2010.

Haiku Response to the FOWC: Disparage

Haiku 4-4-21

who can disparage
the windโ€™s grace within the sky
birdโ€™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.

Early Spring

springtime is nearing
flowers eating the sunshine
blown by the cool breeze
