opening of day
the freshness of a new leaf
drinking in sunshine

farmer’s market—
she pays full price for
a crooked carrot

Me too!

Smart Chip. We're having a cold day today. Sunny but high of only 1C. Brrr.

nature’s trickery
rain fog hides
the mountain top…
blind faith in blue skies
and tomorrow

Oh!!Wonderful! I've been looking for the chippies in our park woods but none to be seen. Great photo 💜💙❤️

A chipmunk peaks out between stone and dry grass.

Good morning sweetie! How was your winter nap? ✨

greener fields
the colts making their way
into spring

slow train home
the calm I hoped for
lagging behind

#DailyHaikuPrompt (calm) #senryu #3lines #micropoetry

A glass half full,
Hoping for the best,
Optimist on some days,
But mostly very stressed,
Rose coloured vision,
Her clouds with silver lining,
Sometimes slightly grumpy,
But endeavours to be shining.

tasting the night air
tender curve of a snail’s horn
this little white moon

Oh yes, I think you've told me about the hawthorn hedge. Wonderful! xx

Cranes lower, trees into place; evergreens meeting, the ground fully formed.

The subway, will soon be open; and the upturned dirt, grass-veneered into park.

I ponder, which will outlast the other; the station below, or its green front?

Blue sky with haze, filmy clouds, and some more solid clouds at lower left. The sun is out of the frame on the right.

Sunday's sky. Sunlit clouds and haze.

Great image!

Lovely. Yes, the scent :-)

#photohaiku

the sight the scent
the promise of summer -
hawthorn blossom

Nice

Trees shrouded in fog.

The day starts in outline and shape.✨

The day starts calmly,
No gusts of impatient wind,
Even the sun sleeps.

#dailyhaikuprompt calm

A cluster of mayflowers. They always make me think of stars. ✨️

Nature's #trickery—
Galaxy of tiny stars
Sitting at my feet

I jump into the puddle
rainy day fund

sunday flows like silk
soft
slow
coffee drips with warm intent
a moment to taste the stillness
to breathe deep
surrender
to the light

I Confess - Allison Luterman I stalked her in the grocery store: her crown of snowy braids held in place by a great silver clip, her erect bearing, radiating tenderness, watching the way she placed yogurt and avocados in her basket, beaming peace like the North Star. I wanted to ask, "What aisle did you find your serenity in, do you know how to be married for fifty years or how to live alone, excuse me for interrupting, but you seem to possess some knowledge that makes the earth turn and burn on its axis-" But we don't request such things from strangers nowadays. So I said, "I love your hair."

Yes, it was really nice :-)

lost and found—
I wrap presents

we are born
of a universe longing
to meet itself

chords between feathers
angels of the longer days
