Here’s my contribution to today’s Word of the Day Challenge. The word: Impressive.
resisting wind, rain
feeding upon the sunlight
impressive glories

sun grasping downwards
flowing through the mountain tops
remembering trees
on the edge of night
evening breeze cooling the air
kingfisher calling
under summer clouds
watching the vigor of bees
joyously cool breeze
the lift of music reminding me who I am on this summer's breeze
This is my response to today’s “Haiku Challenge” by Baffled.
These challenges inspire me, invigorating the creative within me.
This week has been rather intense. Last week, the first week of summer quarter, came with some issues. First, after enrolling for one math class without any direction for testing, it turns out I needed a placement test after all. Raced to get that done before the deadline where I would be auto-dropped from my class. It turns out, I need to go one class back. (I have studied calculus in the past, so remedial algebra stings a bit. It’s disappointing to have slipped so far. A lesson in humility, I guess. More importantly, this cost me about a week.
With this, in one of my other classes, I had significant technical issues, so I am somewhat behind in that class. At least by my definition of “behind”. This week I’ll finish my work right on the due date. I much prefer to be ahead.
These challenges easily fill my mind. When that happens, I lose track of who I am, and who I’m trying to be. One key thing that brings me back: music. Thus why my mind went there with today’s prompt.
I hope this post finds you well as summer progresses. May each of you find what you need as we end this week.
the grace of sunlight
drifting downwards through the trees
junkos in the yard
gazing to the west
with the sun descending low
as the air's cooling
Looking to the west as I walk through this park. Sunlight drifts through the trees. Summer in the north bringing a steep angle to the light. Richly beautiful. To me, at least.
wandering my streets
behind the brick facade
the future awaits
night enveloping
embracing its mysteries
coolness in the air
sunlight descending
embracing Western mountains
air becomes kinder
Walking through the woods as the sun drops low. I love the light at this angle.
