Autumnal Leaves

Autumnal Leaves

glorious red leaves
autumn breezes gently brush
this life giving rain

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

Tonight’s Haiku: Summer’s Rose

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

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.

Bold before the rain

Daisy
Daisy

flowers in sunlight
with glorious abandon
bold before the rain

Fallen Blossoms, A Haiku

Fallen Blossoms
Fallen Blossoms

even though they fight
petals fall upon the ground
springtime fades to dust

Petals are Falling

amidst the birdsong
and the days getting warmer
petals are falling

Today’s Haiku: FOWC with Fandango — Capricious

Blogger Fandango created his own version of the WordPress Word of the Day Challenge once WordPress stopped updating their page. I appreciate deeply that he launched his own version. This creative exercise helps me grow.

Today’s word is “capricious“.

the capricious sun
with such brutal cruelty
and life-giving love

Mysteries

Sink By The Sidewalk

next to the sidewalk
what strange story exists here?
today’s mystery

From My Garden

From the Garden

upon the spring breeze
the delight of butterflies
and soon they will fade
