Sunlight’s Travels

sunlight’s travels

an amazing journey

born from a star

Happy Saturday my friends.

Thursday Morning

balancing beauty

droplets of blood on rose thorns

drawn by vanity

Tuesday Evening Haiku

seeking signs of spring

renewed life begins to bud

with rain less bitter

On today’s walk I focused on searching for signs of spring. Not many yet, but I found these. I expect that the signs will grow via each passing day. C

Signs of Spring

Snow upon the firs

upon this first snow
a group of robins gather
a first sign of spring

Though there was snow on the ground this morning, it was mostly gone by early afternoon. Then, during my afternoon walk, I saw a group of robins rummaging through the fallen leaves. Winter may be in place now, but spring cannot be stopped!

A Break In The Day

with rain no longer falling

I fit in a walk

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 Fall Of Icarus”, Rubens

Daedalus dreamt of
traveling far with his son
anguish in sunlight

A Wednesday Evening

Wednesday evening haiku

Father and child

Gazing upon Christmas lights

Embracing wonder

An Evening Haiku

through the evening rain

beyond the coming darkness

sun in the future

A Night Haiku

I embrace the night

rain flows from forgotten roofs

safe inside my coat
