I adore the simplicity, as well as the challenge of Haiku. The constraints focus my mind, seeking out the essence of the moment, feeling, notion, distilling it to brilliant singularity.
Word of the Day Challenge: Abandoned
troubling my mind
why was this place abandoned?
these lives forgotten
Today’s Word of the Day Challenge features the word “abandoned”, which reminded me of all the houses I’ve seen, empty, decaying. I wonder about the lives that were there before. I wonder about what caused these places to be left behind. What joys, sadnesses and pain have faded into oblivion?

Word of the Day Challenge: Habit, A Haiku
walking every day
my delightful new habit
feeling the sunlight
Today’s Word of the Day Challenge is to use the word “Habit”. As one of my key foci in 2021 has been daily walks, this seems a relevant post. This photo is from one my neighborhood parks from a walk this week.
On the Edge of Night
on the edge of night
I’m walking beneath the wind
a gentle rain falls
Haiku Response to the FOWC: Disparage
who can disparage
the wind’s grace within the sky
bird’s dance on the wing
This is my response to the Fandango Word Of The Day Challenge: “disparage”. One of my photos taken earlier this week, image edited in Adobe Spark, font Lora Regular.
Spring’s Sunlight
within spring’s sunlight
trees moving so gracefully
songbirds uncaring
Early Spring
springtime is nearing
flowers eating the sunshine
blown by the cool breeze
Temperamental Weather
walking in the rain
which soon becomes a strong wind
and then it’s sunshine
