Black sharpie letters
Move lightly across white space
Bringing warmth with them.
Speckled cats
yellow with orange spots
lopsided on paper clouds
imaginations play.
Three Bears
I dream of three bears
writhing on the forest floor
fire pinecones explode
Chinook
Earth breathes a slow sigh
shifting wildfire loosened dirt.
Lay you bare gently.
Magma
Interstellar blood
Moves beneath my earth-born feet
Connects deepest space
Suburban Sunrise
Clouds waved in orange
invite strange neighbors to share
something, finally.
Open to con.nect
#createsomethingnew
make a picture real.
Writing
Leave verbs unburied.
Wander through feral terrain.
Nurture flowers wild.
Bliss
Relaxing into
joy, an unquiet heart grasps
music’s soul. I dance.
Kavachi
She holds the power
to remake earth. A mountain
moving flames through seas.
Pasta Sauce
red tomatoes heaped
naked on sizzling iron,
Waiting For Purpose.
Matte Glaze Music
Holding the simple
clay mug. Warmth dances in a
holloware poem.
Dylan
Thin threads of fire
dancing across ivory earth.
How does wrath find you?
Laundry break
Work with purpose stalls
...the dryer timer’s calling.
Truth unfolds with socks.
A Year of Haikus
I am challenging myself to notice the beauty and depth in the simple things, to ground big ideas in the physical world, to see and value the unspoken, to say more with less, and to share my heart more often. Beginning in November, I will post haikus in this space. I commit to practicing presence and gratitude while learning to strip away the excess.
