A Word Challenge Haiku: Insidious

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


Morning Glory
Morning Glory
despite their beauty
these insidious flowers
destructively grow

An evening walk

Iris

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

After the Rain

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

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

Weariness, a meditation

Fence in black and white

step by step
I move through
weariness

Sunny Spring Sky

Sunny Spring Sky

underneath the clouds

moments of sunlight pulled down

the delights of spring

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

Lucid: A Haiku

Haiku

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

A spring rose

Siding rose

the motion of spring
turning sunlight into life
this moment embraced
