WordPress Word Of The Day: Vendetta

standing under clouds
the squirrels and crows arguing
ancient vendettas?

I discovered the WordPress “Word of the Day” challenge a long-time ago. Getting these prompts helped keep my creative side engaged. Then the WordPress team ended that project. Fortunately, others have stepped up to keep that initiative going.

Today’s word is “vendetta“. A challenging word, especially for my focus on haiku. As I watch the crows and squirrels quibble over the breadcrumbs in my backyard, I came up with this one. I hope you enjoy it!

Daedalus dreamt of
traveling far with his son
anguish in sunlight

My Haiku Contribution to the Fandango Word of the Day Challenge

Hope

This poem is my contribution to the Fandango Word of the Day Challenge, “outcome”.

in this time of rage
I seek an outcome of hope
living gracefully

An Evening Haiku

through the evening rain

beyond the coming darkness

sun in the future

A Night Haiku

I embrace the night

rain flows from forgotten roofs

safe inside my coat


Another experiment with Adobe Spark.

An Autumn Haiku

a new day begins
underneath my feet I hear
freshly fallen leaves

An Autumn Rose

in the autumn rain
petals holding reflections
ghosts of the summer
