Day 48...

The mountain loomed large
Mouth-watering black and white
A chocolate cake!

day #47...

Spitting... in my face
Refreshment is in the air
Light mist..so gentle...

A weather change... cooler, moister air, bringing
humidity back... adding peaches to the cream.. skin...
Ah-hhhhhhhhhhh

#46

Burnt...Glowing embers
Tottering above on stilts!
They are just her shoes...

My visiting daughter purchased a beuatiful pair of new shoes....
an amazing glowing burnt orange... and the highest of heels...
too high for me, no worry there of having them go missing.

Day 45...

Drooping eyes.... fatigued
Running a-flutter all day
Head in dinner plate.

Day 44... thursday January 27

 


Day 44...

An 'oops' here.... it got posted to the wrong blog! Ever done that?
Yikes.... it is embarrassing!

Found...A heart skips beats
A letter from an old friend
Just like yesterday

Gouged out all the respect
Called...disappointment

Day 42...

Studying the scene
Transfixed in meditation
ART! Mesmerizing

Day 41

Noisy, raucous stir
Frantic fluttering nearby
Raven overhead!

Day 40...

Wow... it is forty days
A lot happens day to day
the moment? Haiku

Sugar, spice, sweet things
So tempting, so decadent
Walk past... self control!

Day 38...

A stroll in the park
Under blue skies and warm sun
A South-West luncheon

Day 37..

Golden globe full moon
Clean reflection of the sun
Reach, reach, stretch to touch

the full moon tonight was glorious.... it was hanging so low, so clean... with a little effort it seemed one could touch it.

#36...

There it hangs on high
A light misty cloud covers
White brilliant white

Tick tock tick tock tick
A golden silence spins out
Wait! did you hear that?

Soft air and bird baths
Fill the air with scent and song
A lemon tree blooms

Day 33...

Strolling hand in hand
Soft warm air wafting about
Film Festival ends

#32....

Together with girls
Anticipating a babe
Games laughter galore

Day 31...In the moment

Tinkling music plays
Senses softly caressing
Be in the moment

Spa-time prompted.....

#30..

a health issue relapse!!

Thought I was better
felt like new, went out shopping
Back to bed for you

29th post.. day 29

some of my posts have not fallen exactly on the day... sometimes it has been me.. sometimes it has been blogger.... but I am caught up now... and back on track.
todays Haiku:

Warming bones and hearts
Just being here in the sun
Smiles .. happiness

following 6 days of feeling horrible from cold and flu,
being in bed, coughing, sneezing, wheezing.. [whinining...]
I can only think of how wonderful it was today to sit in the
now warming sun... we are looking at 80F for the weekend... after
a quite cool spell.
How nice is that...

Day 28...

Gathered for the storm
Huddled under the palm branch
Softly twittering

Day 26..

Always there not seen
Nothing like it anywhere
Maternal love found

Day 25...

She took to her bed
Where did her energy go
Achy tired flu

Day 24...

Developing brain
Too much on the internet?
Is a real concern.

Tonight the big discussion was too much internet and technology
for developing brains.... how about 'mature' brains? Are we spending too much time with our 'technology'? thoughts?

Day 23...Baited

We live together
Yet one of us is too close
Bait... the rat is dead

Last night blogger had a problem, so yesterday's post shows the same date as this one.
Today's blog is about living in the desert with 'desert rats'. Well, he wanted to live in my backyard... living in my fruit trees...one of us had to go ... and it wasn't going to be me! Yes, a tree rat... nesting and living in trees.... not my idea of a good neighbour!

Day 22...

Shards… reaching deeply
Brightly , enticingly now
Length of days, of years….

Day 21...

Up,down, up and down
Feet touching, feet not touching
Excitement bursting!

Day 20...Friends

Truthfully? a Haiku is not named....
but I am naming mine because I want for two things...
one) for me to remember why I wrote what I did and
two) so you  know from whence I came, whilst I want you
to form your own mental images.... a contradiction?

today: friends

A hand reaches out
Unseen, unsolicited
Your heart touches mine
.
The 'season'? To my way of thinking, the season is timeless,
friendship does not know time. But the poignancy? a flash of recognition.....
my pain in your heart...

day 19...deep red

Cabernet? Merlot?
Shiraz.. Malbec.. Claret, too
Common? Color base...

Looking at my colored pencils, my eye is drawn to the deep reds...

Day 18..

Trust?... or not.. who knows....
A hand gingerly reached...out
Lost in the moment.
