Chaos Tamer
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.
these quiet mornings
listening to the rain fall
calmness with my tea
This Weekly Prompt appeared (haiku) in my feed today. As I love mornings, it felt quite nice to create this haiku as a part.
do you know I’m sad?
walking alone on concrete
tears hidden by rain
This is my contribution to today’s Word of the Day Challenge: Sad. Fitting, I guess, for a rainy, gloomy day in Seattle. Many days like today’s hosted sadness. Lately, though, even in the midst of the pandemic, I feel calmness, tranquility.

the squirrels and crows arguing
ancient vendettas?
I discovered the WordPress “Word of the Day” challenge a long-time ago. Getting these prompts helped keep my creative side engaged. Then the WordPress team ended that project. Fortunately, others have stepped up to keep that initiative going.
Today’s word is “vendetta“. A challenging word, especially for my focus on haiku. As I watch the crows and squirrels quibble over the breadcrumbs in my backyard, I came up with this one. I hope you enjoy it!
My response to today’s Fandango’s Word Of The Day Challenge. Today’s word: adept.
words flow from keystrokes
there are times I feel adept
rain cools my ego
a moment in time
amazing autumn moment
ensnared by the light

the ocean’s motion
waves moving across the earth
continuously
Here is my contribution to the Word of the Day Challenge. Today’s word is “wave”. Having spent so much of my life near the ocean, this is the first place my mind went. I did think a bit about writing about physics, but, well, I decided oceans were more lovely.

elation and jubilee
a new day is born

the deep need to find justice ~

Today’s “Word of the Day Challenge”: Accidental.
sunlight from the east
this accidental beauty
such a lovely day
As I wrote this post, Bill Wither’s “Lovely Day” came up, finishing up my last line.
May your Monday be, well, lovely.
