glorious sunlight
captured in the greenery
delights of summer
A good day with friends, time in the sunlight, absorbing the life-giving rays. Refreshing my soul during the trials of this pandemic. Life is good.

A Nightmare Haiku
Unclothed while at school
My adolescent terrors
While birds remain unphased
This was a response to a poetry prompt on Instagram. This is what popped into mind.
Haiku Friday, July 24
grey day’s ending
sunlight moves across petals
hummingbirds fighting
Glorious Daisies : A Late Night Haiku
this daisy riot
petals reaching for the sky
buzzing content bees
I wrote this haiku a few months ago, but some glitch kept it from posting. Glad I found it, and now to share it with you.
A Thursday Morning Haiku
early morning
small birds converse
time for tea
Early morning, no one else awake. I sip tea and listen to the birds sing.
For this poem and image I used the app “InstaQuote” on my Kindle Fire. I like the paper background and the font choices. It’s my preferred app on my Kindle since there’s no Canva app.
Often with my haiku I seek a minimalist, handwritten ascetic. For me, that captures the essence and history of haiku.

Grace: A Haiku
Here is my contribution to today’s Word of the Day challenge: Grace.
I think a lot about grace. Its importance both to us, and to society. How grace enables humans to function together, and is the magic elixir that ends conflict. And that grace is undervalued, perhaps even reviled. We live in brutal times, my friends.
Haiku, Minimalism, Modernism, Design
Posted this haiku on my Instagram page this morning. Exploring minimalism, the essence of haiku, combining it with a modernistic design. To accomplish this, I opted for a Helvetica-esque font, right alignment, and no ornamentation. I hope you like it.
The Distraction of Electrons
with sunlight falling
I’m abuzz with distraction
called by electrons
A Good Morning Haiku
night is complete
dawn’s grace arrives
resisting waking
