Starting the day

awakened by self-doubt

criticizing all I've done

so I face within

resisting these words

embracing all that I am

keep moving forward


Today’s Haiku

the rain grows warmer
slowly the plants awaken
the season's motion

I saw this little blossom on my walk today. Right before the rains started. It’s was cold,ย  then damp. But I was equipped,ย  so it was pleasant. Not a bad way to surrender a Sunday afternoon.

Today’s haiku

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 Instagramย  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).

Today’s Haiku Challenge: Waves


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!
