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

Ensnaring The Light

a moment in time
amazing autumn moment
ensnared by the light

the ocean’s motion
waves moving across the earth
continuously

Here is my contribution to the Word of the Day Challenge. Today’s word is “wave”. Having spent so much of my life near the ocean, this is the first place my mind went. I did think a bit about writing about physics, but, well, I decided oceans were more lovely.

Today’s “Word of the Day Challenge”: Accidental.

sunlight from the east
this accidental beauty
such a lovely day

As I wrote this post, Bill Wither’s “Lovely Day” came up, finishing up my last line.

May your Monday be, well, lovely.

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

Grace: A Haiku

Here is my contribution to today’s Word of the Day challenge: Grace.

I think a lot about grace. Its importance both to us, and to society. How grace enables humans to function together, and is the magic elixir that ends conflict. And that grace is undervalued, perhaps even reviled. We live in brutal times, my friends.
