Sleeve: Flower Under Wrap
So beautiful a description, so hopeful, so fun!
Peeping from the ground
a show under wraps
the bulb emerges
soon to dazzle and snap
In a special place
the ground begins to warm
the plants grows high
bees begin to swarm
The show begins
there are many buds
each opening with color
sweet nectar is lifeblood
Now in full bloom
beauty to behold
many different colors
each one is bold
Shining brightly
living a moment in a day
fully expressing itself
before fading away
Flowers fade
leaves absorbing the sun
taking in nourishment
till next spring’s run

Astonish: The Sky
How beautiful, a picture painted!
Sitting on the patio
astonished at the sky
living in the moment
watching the clouds go by
Looking around
the sky and water meet
it is early morning
the sun is there to greet
Water appears to sizzle
with the gentle waves
birds are diving
they are brave
A cloud gives
a mist of rain
amazing clean scent
nature has gained
An astonishing display of colors
sun sets in the twilight
the moon shines bright
on this magnificent night
Meditation over
there is beauty around
living in the moment
enjoying each sight and sound

Lovely!
Welling up from nowhere, fluid freshness Snaking its way through the grass Squelching underfoot and seeping Through the stitching of my boots. Clear, sweet liquid; fountain of life Forming rivulets between the tussocks And carrying tiny particles as it flows Always downward; mind of its own. Whispering, chattering, bubbling With life, love, laughter Skipping over pebbles […]
Beautiful Poetry and Photos
Given the schizophrenic weather we’ve been experiencing in recent months, I thought this poem appropriate for the occasion, and seeing as how it’s about the seasons, I reckoned I’d throw in a few pics from hikes I took in 2 different seasons. Enjoy, and please do let me know what you think. Changing Seasons Snowflakes […]

So true!
Not Okay
Truer words, Sarah.
“Here’s the thing:
Nothing about this is okay.
You are not okay.”
Here’s the thing you don’t seem to understand. You aren’t funny. Intolerance, bigotry, and misogyny is no laughing matter. It is not okay to turn someone’s fears into a joke. It is not okay to mock someone. It is not okay taunt a victim. To make excuses for what happened to them. To make light of what they needed to do to survive.
Have you not noticed the trail of burned bridges you’ve left behind you? Have you not noticed the people you have offended? How about the fact that they are women, or men that appreciate women for who they are? Their strength. Their resilience.
No. It is not okay. You are not okay. Get some fucking perspective and some humility while you’re at it.

Daily Post Photography Challenge: Spring Awakening
Heavenly!
Spring
is a time of awakening
not only, does the earth come to life
but its creatures return to beautify the scene.
The wind whispers with intent –
as pollen fills the swollen blue skies of longing
and the sun’s rays shine down upon the growing buds
the branches dangling heavily, pregnant with promise.
I raise the camera to my eye
as spring has likewise awakened within me –
the renewal of hope.

Sorry I’ve been away for a bit… My computer died and I was stuck on the kid’s computers which has Net Nanny blocking practically everything 🙂 I’m finally back!
Gorgeous!
At last you are shedding the neutral grey and white, wrapping yourself in a green gown, sparkling with iridescent dew tumbling like velvet into a glassy pool still ice cold, quivering on the brink. Hear the promise: morning chorus, finches singing their hopeful hearts to spring. #haibun (I hope!) for #NaPoWriMo Day 12 I’ve never tried […]
