as I rest in my hammock
sunlight glimmering

On Twitter there’s a daily “haiku challenge” by @Baffled (today’s word is “rest”). I try my best to do these every day. A lovely community has sprung up around them. For me, it’s one of the best parts of Twitter.

A Flower From My Walk

walking through sunlight
these flowers watch my progress
