Christmas Snapshot

Christmas morn blushing
with childlike fervour – outside
a chaste wonderland.

(Written for RonovanWrites Haiku Challenge: chaste / blush. Image from personal collection.)

Merry day all!

Mistrust

Promises mouthed
form no solid basis for
love – only mistrust.

(Written for RonovanWrites Haiku Challenge: foot/mouth. Image from personal collection.)

Return to Kindness

A cup of kindness,
simple, yet moving target –
social tides failing.

(Written for Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge: cup/ goal. Image from personal collection.)

Endurance

Victorious love –
even in loss holds merit,
spurs the growth of wings.

(For Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge)

Heart Treasures

Hand holding conveys
child’s truth – trust in adult
a treasured honour.

(Written for Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Prompt: honour/ truth. Photo from personal collection.)

Post-Election

Change was the resolve –
a vote for democracy –
results leave questions.

(For Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge: question/ resolve)

Reverence

Natural beauty
stops the heart, disrupts breathing
instills reverence.

(Photograph taken in Arizona at the Bryce Thompson Arboretum State Park last Spring. Modified with Befunky.com. Submitted here for Manic Mondays 3 way prompt: reverence.)

Reach Higher

Aim for the sublime –
defy mediocracy;
let passion hunger.

(For Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge: hunger/strike; and Ragtag Community’s sublime)

In Praise of Watercolour

Art, like a compass,
guides my soul – watercolour
inspiring life force.

(Written for Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge: art & compass. The image is a piece I recently started. It did not turn out so well, but I like the idea. Maybe I’ll start again. Also, I’m linking up to dVerse poetics, which tonight is all about journeys. Since I don’t leave the house very often, and when I do, my husband is driving, my journeys these days are more ethereal – into the realm of imagination.)

Wholeness

(Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge is breath & unite.)
