My week buzzed by too, Teresa. But I love where it landed—with your imaginative haiku and photo. Happy haiku Saturday! 💛

Jack-in-the-pulpit flower; light green with white stripes--not the usual color of a flower; about a foot tall (a big one!); sun shining from above; trees, dried grass, brown leaves, and split logs in the background

masked by deep woods
hiding beneath a hood
a flower disguised

I love the mystery in your haiku, and that shade of green in your photo, Abbie!

Magenta Magnolia petals

Hint of poppy petals beneath the green bud shell

Apple blossoms

Bright yellow dandelion

summer thundered through
bursting buds, greening trees
leaving spring breathless

Your image of a breathless spring took my breath away, Beth!

#HaikuSaturday is upon us again. How did the week buzz by so fast?

It’s #InternationalHaikuPoetryDay today! I’m posting my spring haiku and image a day early for #HaikuSaturday.

An island or cloud?
Blooms floating by in a dream—
Spring awakening.

I love this poster for #NationalPoetryMonth. So many ways to shine a light in the darkness through poetry.

The #KidLitProgressivePoem line for today continues at Robyn Hood Black’s blog. I’m enjoying the journey in the Land of Poetry as poets add their lines of verse!

Congrats, Teresa!

“Ode to Forgetting”

Thank you, Susan!

I have a quilt I started but never finished back in High School. I used scraps from all the dresses I made for myself back then. Maybe it’s time to dig out the quilt pieces and make them into a book instead? 💚

I used to be a tech writer and still find those skills incredibly useful. In this creative career growth collage, I paid homage to that old life with this set of instructions on ... attaching a zipper? And a little scissor image holds it closed!

Love it! I was a tech writer for my 1st career too—it’s nice to meet you, Angela. 👋

Fabulous! I think Carly would appreciate the word play 😊

you come, and land feather-light

Thank you, Karyn!

Thank you, Jo!

Yes! I took this photo last spring…I’m still waiting for this spring’s blooms…

Thanks, Abbie!

What a beautiful sight, and your haiku too!

Wonderful pairing! And that look on her face—I feel the same way sitting in the sunshine.

Oh, the lovely alliteration and “fritillary”—I’ve learned a new word!

Beautiful haiku—it sings!

I created 2-layered blooms this week. Used colored push pins to attach to a cork board. A solar system of blooms? 🪐🌎
