In Praise of Watercolour
Art, like a compass,

inspiring life force.
(Written for Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge: Â art & compass. Â The image is a piece I recently started. Â 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. Â 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.)

Timid starts beget
longevity, peace – beware
infatuation,
whose coals, burning too brightly,
blind and scald its victims.
(Written for Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge: peace/love. Â I stretched it to a tanka.)
Snake
Justification
Strength Rising
The force that corrupts
