Day 17.... mockingbird

Tra-la-la-la-la
Out of nowhere.. tra-la-la
A mockingbird sings.

Hooray... it has been so quiet... but why this afternoon? I is so cold!
Maybe he only is keeping warm??  At this time it is only 9C/48F... 8:48 p.m.

Day 16.....

Crispy lettuce leaves.
Dark... still.. a crackling occurs,
Lettuce ice at dawn.

Weather temperatures are dropping like a stone, frost warning
tonight. Farmers are racing the cold front with irrigation to insulate the soil and create layers of ice.

Day 15...Blind by choice

Haiku posting daily is making me more aware of my emotions,surroundings and spirituality... while it is not easy, it does keep me on my toes.

It is not easy.
People just don't want to see
Curtains being drawn.

deep...heavy?

Dday 14... happy

Hip,hip,hip hooray!
Plane to meet, appointments too
Fun, mother and daughter.

Yes, my daughter is coming for a visit at the end
of January... one month away!! I am so happy!

Day 13.. weather

 Smell it take over
Dark, starry night stretching out
Bringing weather change.

Dday 12.... It happens

Gone! with, like the wind
Where does it so quickly go?
Communication...

remember... these poems are 'in the moment'... as
in 'season'... and even in the best... sometimes, it happens!

Day 11

Long walks, longer days
Pleasant to behold this day
A keepsake among many.

Day 10....

Everyday brings its 'in the moment' and it is not always easy
to choose which moment is the one with the words....
Today it is joy.... based on a glimmer of hope... 'the future of our fears is seldom as bad in reality'....

I 'see' what you mean
Dark density flys away
Choices make me smile.

Day 9...Sad

Limbs hanging down long
Sighing replaces the tears
Tired, just tired.

This emotion follows acceptance of things that cannot be changed..
thereby creating a 'new normal'.
Have you been there? Are you? Thoughts?

Day 8....

Haiku
Shot,bold,sensuous
Stilted beauty leans forward.
Curvaceous, RED SHOES.

day 7....Rain

Silence .. listen.. WET!
 Birdsong twitter, raucous.. then..
Silence... drip,drip,drip...a cat!

Todays Haiku  has been inspired by a very heavy rainfall... and
the cheery song of the 'bush' birds... until ....there it is... the neighbours cat! It always amazes me that they can sing in chorus and halt on cue.

Day 6....True Love

This is about my own 'true love'.... two hearts really do
beat as one. Problems have engulfed us, yet never does
my 'true love' waiver, or bemoan ill-fate.... he is the best!

Thump, thumpity-thump
Valor bends the knee, tried, true...
Heart, mind, soul... my love.

Day 5....Solstice

Winter solitice is upon us.... long nights and short days.

Days are drawing in
Starry nights, long with swaddle
keeping close till morn.

Day 4...........

Since Haiku is about being in the moment [season]... I am becoming more and more aware of my surroundings and emotions...

Pearls.. a mound of pearls
Frothy, foamy , glistening,
Luxury..... softly....

Soap bubbles were the source of my Haiku today..........

Haiku .. day 3...Ribbon

Tied, binds with beauty
Sheer, delicate , strong and sure
Contents held secure.

Time.... One directional, Honored, Waster, Heals,Tested...

This post is about TIME... what it is, how it is viewed and used or abused.
Haiku:
Spent, gone yesterday
Tomorrow , mine alone new
Today.... grow, mend, heal.

Do you think of time? It is the only one-dimensional thing I personally know of. How do you spend your time? How WILL you spend your time? Essentially, the choice is ours.... make it count, make it work ... for you... time is yours... to own, to have, to hold and to use to the best of ability.

Daily post

Thoughts decend like rain
Wait! the sun rose red this morn
Rain before the bow.

First post... Pain

In the community of respect, I shan't share whose pain this is, but please let me say... I feel their pain in my heart.

Haiku: written with pain...
1)...
BURST! Wide open gash
A soul trickles out sorrow
Spent and lifeless lay.

2)...
A tear fell today
A flood uncontrolled
BLOOD - a broken heart.

Renditions in my Journal.
