Another response to the Word of the Day Challenge. Today’s word is “vision”.


seeking a vision
as summer progresses
beyond empty words

A haiku response to today’s Word of the Day Challenge

Today’s word is “overdue”. Not a very poetic word, is it?


a day with light rain
giving overdue relief 
birds gracing my day

A Dark Sky Haiku

Dark Sky
under sunlight's edge
gazing upwards at the clouds
I have everything 

Shedding Sunlight: Tonight’s Haiku

shedding sunlight
night emerges, taking hold
summer raindrops fall

Tonight’s Haiku: Summer’s Rose

Summer Rose
feeding on sunlight
gracefully growing skyward
now the scent of rain

Bees: A Haiku

while the bees’s moving
gracefully over petals
preparing for rain


I’m pretty pleased with this photo, taken along the Edmonds waterfront.

A Haiku Response to the Word of the Day Challenge: Meeting

Another morning, another daily challenge. This time I am looking at the Word of the Day Challenge. Today’s word is “meeting”. With the pandemic and all, you might expect me to write about Zoom. But, no…

Flowers meeting

in the morning mist
flowers meeting to discuss
humanity's fate

A Word Challenge Haiku: Insidious

I’m very fond of “Word Challenges”. Today I’m taking on Fandango’s One Word Challenge, and the word is “insidious“.


Morning Glory
Morning Glory
despite their beauty
these insidious flowers
destructively grow

A Cloudy Summer’s Day

a cloudy summer’s day haiku
cloud's gentleness
hints of healing rain
summer's respite

I took this photo this morning after hearing of the possibility of rain. Haven’t seen any yet.

I decided to experiment with animated text. This was created with Canva. What do you think?

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.
