Garden Lily

Lily
evening descending
such delights from my garden
in the cool night air

I saw this lovely flower in my garden today. This photo charms me. A simple thing, taken with my Samsung S9 with Instagram’s XPro filter.

Through The Ivy: A Haiku

strolling through the woods
mysteries through the ivy
moments of wonder

Today’s Word of the Day Challenge features “Ivy”. Instead of looking through my photo catalog, I opted to head to Pexels. This photo’s dark, woodsy mood felt perfect.

Sunlight Wanes, Tonight’s Haiku

Woods at Dusk

at the sunlight wanes
footsteps echo through these woods
soon sleep will call me

Impressive: A Haiku

Here’s my contribution to today’s Word of the Day Challenge. The word: Impressive.

resisting wind, rain
feeding upon the sunlight
impressive glories

The featured image is a photo I took yesterday. I’m unsure of the flower type, but found it lovely.

A Blog, A Reflection, And A Recommendation

My friend Bill posted this earlier today: “Where everyone would love to drown“. Seeing the headline in my inbox, and knowing Bill, my brain connected it to the Stevie Nicks song “Sara”. Google, and its scion YouTube, assisted me as I wanted to listen as I read. Here’s what I played:

Hints of youth, of those people who’ve impacted us greatly, but who fade to myth over the decades. That’s what came to mind for me.

In response, a haiku awakened. True to form, I guess.

Summers of my youth
Tastes of freedom and heartache
Crowds passing me by

I highly recommend you head over to Bill’s blog, the Pink Lightsaber. He’s a talented writer well worth the gift of attention.

On the Edge of Night: A Haiku

Sunset in Edmonds

on the edge of night
evening breeze cooling the air
kingfisher calling

Flowers from my Walk

under summer clouds
watching the vigor of bees
joyously cool breeze
