Facing Forward
sunset through the waves sunlight sparkles upon the surf fading into night
On Twitter, er, X, the user @Bleu_Owl posts a daily prompt “Haiku Challenge”. Today’s prompt is “wave”. The above is my contribution. I hope you enjoy it!
Today’s haiku video was created with Canva, a powerful freemium design tool. If you’re not familiar with it, I highly recommend it. The free version has plenty of functionality, and the premium versions are amazing without the high costs of Adobe.
the grace of sunlight
dancing in the ocean breeze
the sun arcs downwards
slowly opening sunlight hidden by the clouds such gentle motion
between the rain squalls
sunlight mellowed by the clouds
petals unfurling
the grace of the sun
as it descends through the leaves
greeted by flowers
under spring sunlight
bees moving between petals
gentle ocean breeze
admist the flowers
dancing upon the petals
the song of sunlight
the gentle rainfall
droplets caress the petals
in the early morn
the evening sunlight
drifting behind western trees
cherry blossoms fall
A friend of mine asked me why I hadn’t written, or posted, any haiku lately. My answer is pretty lame. She said she missed them, so I offer up this one.
