evening descending
such delights from my garden
in the cool night air
I saw this lovely flower in my garden today. This photo charms me. A simple thing, taken with my Samsung S9 with Instagram’s XPro filter.

Today’s Word of the Day Challenge features “Ivy”. Instead of looking through my photo catalog, I opted to head to Pexels. This photo’s dark, woodsy mood felt perfect.
Sunlight Wanes, Tonight’s Haiku
at the sunlight wanes
footsteps echo through these woods
soon sleep will call me
Impressive: A Haiku
Here’s my contribution to today’s Word of the Day Challenge. The word: Impressive.
resisting wind, rain
feeding upon the sunlight
impressive glories

Flowers from my Walk

Today’s Haiku Challenge Keyword: Lift
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.
