Phoetry is Back, Part 1

Posted on August 20, 2021 by Blog Woman!!!

It was forever since I looked at where I live. I’ve been mostly in the business of adjusting to new normals – again. Still. Look, can we finally just face that we really have no idea what normal really was? A lot of what was normal badly needed the revision anyway. I guess we’re all still working on it.

In the meantime, home commanded my attention. I forgot what an adventure home is…

Home sweet home
Tantalizing dreams
Still fathoms

#Lune #photo #poetry

Pleasure sits idle
Labor has punched in the clock
Unlocked and undocked

#Haiku

Memories fill up
Years of crossing my own paths
Storied bridges fade

#haiku

She accepted it
Cradling the final moments
Inevitable

#Haiku

Planetarium
Setting the spotlight focus
Lunar favorite

Natural Progress

Summer haikus; poetic respite in between the cares and the concerns of Spring and the prep work for Fall…

Photos from my first attempt at a deck garden.

Delicacies reign
Effortless sustenance hails
Tendril-loving care

Seedy flirtations
Lusciously coloring life
Carelessly strewn joy

Allium cepa
Flavorful accessory
Verdant stems of pride

Goth petunias
Black velvet grows in boxes
Textural wealth

Future offerings
Seeds of faith, promise & love
Gratitude’s bounty

First Thought

Posted on April 30, 2020 by Blog Woman!!!

This could be a Spring of retreat; a step or two toward the past. Maybe time on our hands and loads of room for reflection. My own longings lean toward the masses questioning all the holes in all the systems that Covid-19 surged right up to our every sensibility.

My next prayer is that all this new-found realization of what matters, this renewed knowledge of what essential is, will not get tossed and lost for good by most.

Reflection choices can be simple too; in fact, the majority of mine certainly are. I can’t believe how much it means to walk in the woods right now. All the smells of Spring are especially entrancing, and I am so in beyond land when I look at the tender shoots that replaced the tiny seeds I planted weeks ago. I’m so excited to be a back deck farmer this year. Small things. The every things.

It was within these lines of thought on this lazy Thursday, I was reminded of a sweet and lovely moment of 3 years ago, when we were allowed more fearless touch.

Wishing all a gentle and inspiring weekend.

I am the first thought
On his mind as daybreak blinks
Sunday morning bliss…
