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

walking through my town
spring’s glories slip past my eyes
flowers start to fade

between the rain squalls
I get to walk in the sun
flowers cheer me on

flowers in sunlight
with glorious abandon
bold before the rain


step by step
I move through
weariness

underneath the clouds
moments of sunlight pulled down
the delights of spring
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
Here’s my contribution to today’s FOWC (Fandango’s One-Word Challenge): lucid. In keeping with my current blogging focus of haiku, here you go:
as dawn’s light rises
my dreams brilliantly lucid
fading as I wake

the motion of spring
turning sunlight into life
this moment embraced
