Lily Pads

deep within the woods
a pond with lily pads
dragonflies pass by

The above haiku is my response to today’s “Baffled Haiku Challenge“, a daily prompt posted on Twitter by the user Baffled. I try to contribute daily to this community. It’s a pretty awesome group of people.

Through The Ivy: A Haiku

strolling through the woods
mysteries through the ivy
moments of wonder

Today’s Word of the Day Challenge features “Ivy”. Instead of looking through my photo catalog, I opted to head to Pexels. This photo’s dark, woodsy mood felt perfect.

Sunlight Wanes, Tonight’s Haiku

Woods at Dusk

at the sunlight wanes
footsteps echo through these woods
soon sleep will call me

Ferns in the Forest

Ferns
Ferns in the Woods
underneath the trees
branches filtering sunlight
springtime’s gentleness 

A Walk in the Woods

Through The Woods

passing under trees
the path dry from the spring sun
with the bold birdsong

Sunlight dripping from the leaves
Fleeting summer’s days
