Good morning from Rogers AR ~
I traveled into work today along Hwy 71 with the morning sun seemingly sitting still in a thick haze.
My morning writing ~
Quickened scenes
Heavy curtains fall
Sun rises through
What is it that makes a day work for you?
When you feel you just can’t handle it today ~ yet you go ahead and stay then move through ~ so you too can rise!
Finally warming into the 60s today with full sunshine.
My morning write ~ haiku 3/5/3
Light dancing
Shadows fall across
Eyes seeing
Good morning from inside this morning ~ Freezing temperatures and grey clouds greet me. Who would ever know it’s really April by just looking outside?
My morning writing ~ 6 lines
Sitting inside
Looking outside
Bathed in greys
Water reflections of whole skys
All with the hint
of fresh spring greens
Cold crisp unseasonal air hits us ~ and I stop to think, I better enjoy this!
My morning write ~ Haiku 3/5/3
Canada
Geese squaking birds fly
Once again
Good morning from the lakeside deck —
Overcast grey skies with lots of humidity! Rains and storms forecasted with possibilities of wrap around snow!
Haiku
Buds appear overnight
Unrehearsed spring green trumpets
Freeze knockoffs for sale
Good morning from the lakeside deck —
Sunshine greets me and its 65 degrees! Warm with a forecasted windy day and storms coming for tomorrow. However, now there is stillness and quiet air lays over Lake Ann, with a slight south wind. Birds seem to know something is on its way as they are all out and feeding. All of us are in anticipation of what will come later today.
Haiku 3/5/3 and 3/5/1
Red-tailed hawk
Visiting hollowed out
Woodpecker tree
Two Cardinals
Sounding their songs
Spring
This is a warm spring morning! It’s ALL GOOD . . .
Good morning from the lakeside deck – This morning’s write will be some short haiku as I have a full day. Take good care and God’s blessing to all.
My prayers today go out to all those you are suffering from illness, war, and poverty.
Thinly veiled
Scattered gold sun rays
Pierce moments
Caught up in moments
“Please don’t take my life away”
Only you can see
You can see
My mind runs forward
Time will tell
Time chosen
Planes drop killing bombs
Children see
Pray for them
Sacred young children
Pray for them

Sitting in a sunlit room ~
several haiku this morning.
On Bear’s Point
Sitting in morning haze
A red bird
Reflecting back
Pines pour into lake
Mourning thoughts
April is National Poetry Month and I hope you join me in writing a poem each day. Although I’m starting just this week, my goal is to write each day.
My morning on Lake Ann started the same way as all my other mornings with me going to my windows overlooking our cove. However, today I awoke to a beautiful white springtime snow which had fallen overnight ~
Light snow
Covers the docks and roof tops
Lining the soft curves of the cove
A master painter’s brush has
Outlined the hardwood branches
In fine Irish lace
Through open trees
Stands hints of green buds and first leaves
I can even see
Some mouse ear smiles
Sprinkles of pink
Are all throughout our cove
And over on the other ridge top too
I can see ~
Dozens and dozens of brand new Pink redbud blossoms
Painting a parkscape masterpiece
As the white snow caps lay
The snow itself looks pink
Like fields of lavender
Sitting in beds of pink tulips
With a touch of dancing buttercups
Was it the light?
Was it the fresh snow lift?
Yes, it was all of that
A true master’s gift ~
The start of our redbud spring!
In the beginning was the Word
A Nature Farm
Book reviews, author interviews, and literary news.
