Wagtail: Willy Wagtail--Just when I soaked my feet in this river, one day, the Jaunty li'l thing came to show me how birds do it. Lucky for me, I had my camera ready. Check out the video too.
Wrote a haiku about the cotton flower wilting, aged enough to explode into fluffy bolls. Also wrote about polka dotted ladies at work in limit of heat. Please enjoy.
With today's twin haiku on a wonderful photo prompt, I share a glimpse into how I see things today. I hope you can see what I mean. Because it's never too late to bring awareness.
My first (& second) American Sentence Poem. With scientific insight from the book, The Hidden Life Of Trees by Peter Wohlleben.
For most people, this time of the year is a pleasant period. I close my eyes and can smell it: Sweet clementine, cinnamon, clove, and anisette cookies. But I’m nowhere close to any of those things. What do you see when you close your eyes?
Awareness of the pleasantness of the moment makes for a day of here-spent hours. Let's be the peace we’re wishing for, the change we all need. As thoughts whizz through our thinker, let's think world peace.
Sweet is the lore which Nature brings; Our meddling intellect Mis-shapes the beauteous forms of things:— We murder to dissect. ~ by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH Let me introduce you to Medium.
I wrote you a Tanka, dear friends. The tanka, unlike the haiku, is a less rigid form, and more casual than the haiku. It allows the imagination to help the poet express feelings. Today, my subjects sing loud while the ocean is a deafening echo that sounds like peace. It's the perfect time to write a poem. Enjoy.
What a wonderful world this life is, though brief and transcendental-- Grand. Let's all zoom out, listen and look at ourselves from above — with open senses to the healing rhythm of the life that's exploding around us.
I've learned to appreciate the nudge that prompts elicit, so I hope you're coaxed into trying out this photo prompt that I present to you through LynnMcKPhotography today. Enjoy A Prayer.
