A #smattering of #connections
Across cyberspace, around the globe
As our words meet each other
Exchanging ideas & concepts
Providing empathy and understanding
Love and support
From all walks of life
From this hearth to yours
#Connect well.

I love to live here
Windows collecting intricate patterns
Swirls of #frost obscure the view
Of skeletal trees devoid of canopy
Amid blankets of white,
Speckled with deep footprints from animals
Criss-crossing the yard in the pale moonlight

Yellow chest, black cap...
Gosh, is that a great tit or not?
Bird looks quite a pip.
#bird #wildwalk
(Have mercy on us American birdwatchers who don't know a great tit from a funnily yellowed chickadee.)
Gardens licked by #flames
Charcoal spread to promote growth
Withering fertilizer
#wildwalk #haiku #poem #poetry #writingwalk
Nature turns #bare-
Yet in ample time the Frost thaws,
Flowers blossom once more.
#wildwalk #haiku #poem #poetry #writingcommunity
In the air the #spores
Haunt
The forest’s deep roar
#wildwalk #tercet #poem #poetry #micropoetry #writingcommunity
We strain the #grain
And drain the brain
We screen the refrain
Even shame.
#wildwalk #couplets #quatrain #poem #poetry #micropoetry #writingcommunity
Hearts stay #aching
Under Autumn’s #crisp crunch;
The haunting leaves.
#emoetry #wildwalk #haiku #poem #poetry #writingcommunity
#Poppies in the field-
Wardens of sleep and rest,
Reminders to never forget.
#wildwalk #tercet #poem #poetry #writingcommunity
To #swim in winter
With freezing waves, among the
Frosty penguins surf.
#haiku #poem #poetry #wildwalk
Nature’s #carpet adorned
In leafy festive nightmares
Is the lady ever scorned.
The flowers wild that she wears-
And her voice sounds burned-
As all around her sleep the bears.
#wildwalk #tercets #poem #poetry #micropoetry #writingcommunity
Tree roots wearing a
Crown of #toadstools, fungi
Sprouting secret life.
#haiku #poem #poetry #writingcommunity #wildwalk
#Magical mists float
Shrouds over our eyes, spirits
Lumbering forwards.
#wildwalk #haiku #poem #poetry #writingcommunity
Flourishing #curtains
Decorating Autumn’s trees;
Fortune for the eyes.
#wildwalk #haiku #poem #poetry #writingcommunity
The #orange leaves grace us
Before mother winter strolls in.
With a chill and blizzard of fuss
Nature paid us back for a sin
That we exacted on her in lust-
For cheap energy and shark fin.
#wildwalk #tercets #micropoetry #poetry #poem #writingcommunity
“You have a #darkness” she said,
Shock and horror across her face.
“Mine is one that so many paid
For,” and I left it at that place.
#wildwalk #poem #poetry #micropoetry #writingcommunity
The #changing of a guard:
Wolves turn to lions whispering
Sweet nothings to a sexy bard,
Beneath the oak tree singing;
#wildwalk #poem #poetry #micropoetry #writingcommunity
A smell of #pollen
Signaling the coldest nights
The year’s beautiful funeral
#haiku #wildwalk #poem #poetry #writingcommunity
The ferocious #rain beating down
Grows angry on the man alone
#wildwalk #couplet #poem #poetry #micropoetry #writingcommunity
Walking through #tunnels
Immersed in a worldly dark,
One light at the end.
#wildwalk #haiku #poem #poetry #writingconmunity
A #hawk circles wide.
Eyes scanning the woods for a
Quick snack; small rabbits.
#wildwalk #haiku #poem #poetry #writingcommunity
#Evening horizons bless
With the magic of colors
Heaven’s symphony
#wildwalk #haiku #poem #poetry #writingcommunity
The moon turned to #yellow cheese
Beneath the filters of my glasses
A vision granted mostly to please.
#wildwalk #tercet #poem #poetry #micropoetry #writingcommunity
#Dribble and ripple
Rain pouring onto the lake
Thunder breaks the calm
#wildwalk #haiku #poem #poetry #writingcommunity
The web encompasses and clings
Crawling along is a colorful #spider
Looking for it’s next fool to sting
#wildwalk #poem #poetry #tercet #micropoetry #writingcommunity
Young #foraging birds
Preparing for a winter
That they’ve never seen
#wildwalk #haiku #poem #poetry #writingcommunity
Taking #flight pure abandon
The air flowing through somber
Feathers. A liberating run
A hunter counts the numbers
#wildwalk #quatrain #poem #poetry #micropoetry #writingcommunity
I found as if my magic
An #ore so shiny in the
River. The story I saw was tragic
An #impromptu vision
Of heartbreak and lost rings
