poetry, prose, and photography
this gentle rainfall
droplets sparkle in the light
while spring approaches
I created this haiku with TikTok’s built in tools. Then I posted it to Instagram amongst other places. These are lots of fun to create.
Anyway, I hope you had a good “extended Monday” (yesterday was the President’s Day holiday in the US).
the winter's sunlight upon the western mountains the song of the waves
rain clouds to the west
quietly pass overhead
hiding the sunlight
sunset through the waves sunlight sparkles upon the surf fading into night
On Twitter, er, X, the user @Bleu_Owl posts a daily prompt “Haiku Challenge”. Today’s prompt is “wave”. The above is my contribution. I hope you enjoy it!
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
slowly opening sunlight hidden by the clouds such gentle motion
between the rain squalls
sunlight mellowed by the clouds
petals unfurling
barefoot through the grass
with the dew cooling my toes
breeze through the blossoms
modern dilemma
I see all my hopes and dreams
behind the paywall
A little mediation on modern life and media.
