Magical clouds burst
Aquamarine and pastel
Beautiful sky shades.

Wordless Wednesday: Daisy.
Wordless Wednesday late!
Wordless Wednesday.
Sunday Stills: Adoration of the #Earth
Tarmac
Man made and hard
Mushroom Gaia’s handwork
Needs to leave the dark so it thrives
So soft
Determined and triumphant it
Pushes aside man-made
Covering of
Tarmac.
A kaleidoscope of earthy colours
Escapes a knowing, talented hand.
So much that the inner eye sees.
The guiding hand of Gaia
Brings meaning to fingers
And peace to the brain
Would that all could
Share the view
Gaia
Gives.

Peace
Light
Colours
My dream place
Where my mind’s ease
Lifts me, to gentle space
Perfume heady take my mind home
To a kinder time, happy and carefree
Pastel soft my mood lightens as memories flood
Murmurs in my ears, flowers in my hands
Time slips by like hourglass sand
I meld into this place
Remove the years
Grateful, tired
I find
Peace

The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS March 18, 2023
Hello everyone it time for Stream of Consciousness Saturday and LindaGHill is here with this week’s prompt. Linda said : “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “tape.” Use it as a noun or a verb. Use it any way you like. Enjoy!”
Tapestry
Colours sewn together a rainbow collection
There’s love and life taped herein, from every direction.
As my dad would say life’s rich tapestry
Is what makes us human and free.
Fingers may bleed putting in the stitches
Clever women have it all taped up, tapestry witches.
So bring me threads and ribbons so life is all taped up.
Tapestry of history and love has life all quilted up.

#TankaTuesday Weekly #Syllabic #Poetry Challenge No. 311, 3/14/23
WELCOME TO #TANKATUESDAY
This week Colleen’s challenge is Synonyms Only. That means you must select synonyms for the two words below. Submit by March 19, 2023.
spring & green
(any definition of the words.)
I have chosen an Abhanga. A poem in any number of 4-line stanzas with 6-6-6-4 syllables each. L2 and L3 rhyme. The end rhyme scheme is abbc. It is customary to title your poetry. The Abhanga is of childhood memories, mum cooking spring greens.
SPRING GREENS
Such childhood memories
The smell in the kitchen
I didn’t love it then
Mum cooked just right.
Those viridescent veg
They will make your hair curl
Make you a healthy girl
Mum was so right.
The verdant early leaves
Fresh like the new season
Taste reminds me of fun
Mum cooked just right.
#TankaTuesday #TheSpiceofLife #Poetry Challenge No. 309, 2/28/23
WELCOME TO #TANKATUESDAY!
🌶️ This week’s challenge is The Spice of Life: Choose a spice from your kitchen cabinet, and relate its flavor to an event that recently happened in your daily life. Write your syllabic poem! Bonus—if you share a photo of the spice in your post. 🌶️
I have chosen a little string of Haiku one , 5,7,5. and three 3,5,3.
Ground from arbours bark
Nature’s gold dust milky sweet
Cinnamon delight.
Black bullets
Hot enough to sneeze
Clears your head.
White horses
Crystals from the sea
Life’s wages.
Gold or red
Along the spice root
Treasure taste

短歌 火曜日
It’s time for Colleen Chesebro’s Tuesday Tanka.
Colleen said ‘This week’s challenge is a photo prompt. I’ve asked my friend, and photographer, Terri Webster Schrandt, from secondwindleisure.com to share her photos with us for inspiration. Terri runs a weekly photo challenge called Sunday Stills. Check it out HERE.”
Terri says: “This is a filtered version of a rose I photographed at the International Rose Test Garden in Portland.”
I have chosen to write an Abhanga in any number of 4-line stanzas with 6-6-6-4 syllables each. L2 and L3 rhyme. The end rhyme scheme is abbc. It is customary to title your poetry.
Nature’s Circle.
Past her best, beauty fades
Edging her petals dark
Still her presence to mark
Her colour glows
Radiant in her youth
She still outshines them all
Her green leaves and stalk tall
She bows her head
Nature has run it’s course
She will whither and die
Her scent through air will fly
It’s nature’s way.
From the soil she has grown
Nutured her and nurished
Through summer she flourished.
Life’s sweet circle
