Today’s Haiku: Bursts of Color


footsteps on the path
bursts of color reach my eye
underneath the leaves

Saw these on my walk yesterday. They were striking, standing out solidly in the mass of green.

I finished up Summer quarter on my journey to finish my ATA in Web Development. I will write some about that soon. Six quarters complete and three quarters left. Now, what to do afterwards? So much opportunity, so many choices, thus, so many things to say “no” to. That’s my pain.

A Haiku Response to the Word of the Day Challenge: Meeting

Another morning, another daily challenge. This time I am looking at the Word of the Day Challenge. Today’s word is “meeting”. With the pandemic and all, you might expect me to write about Zoom. But, no…

Flowers meeting

in the morning mist
flowers meeting to discuss
humanity's fate

A Word Challenge Haiku: Insidious

I’m very fond of “Word Challenges”. Today I’m taking on Fandango’s One Word Challenge, and the word is “insidious“.


Morning Glory
Morning Glory
despite their beauty
these insidious flowers
destructively grow
