Facing Forward, Pursuing Progress
cloudy morn
chatter from the crows
collaboration
darkness descending
covering faded blossoms
so ephemeral
wonders of springtime
flowers within the sunlight
birdsong fills the air
cherry blossoms fall
as spring's skies begin to warm
free of all our fears
another spring day
cherry blossoms scattering
fading memories
Wrote this one early this morning. Created this image in Canva.
Anyway, thanks for reading.
the sunlight fading
while the grace of spring flowers
bursts upon the trees
This is a photo I took a few weeks ago on my Google Pixel, and the post below (Instagram) inspired me to write something today:

It’s funny to me how I feel compelled to justify my work, my writing, photography, poetry. Really, I’m supposed to monetize EVERYTHING! If it’s not generating income, or promoting my business, then I shouldn’t do it. However, I know, in my heart, that I need to create stuff.
I feel compelled to post daily, but I’m hamstrung by the needs above, as well as the larger issues of imposter syndrome and all that.
So, I took the photo above and added the haiku in Canva. I do enjoy that, but I think I need to explore other tools besides Canva. Heck, maybe I need to start doing these in Photoshop again. Get those skills back up.
this late winter morn
a sign of impending spring
waking to birdsong
within the sunlight
sustained by the gentle earth
a late springtime breeze
looking for heaven
feeling sunlight and a breeze
here amongst the trees
