Daydreaming
Carpe Diem Celebrates Its 8th Anniversary, October 2020: #1836 Daydreaming
fall preparations
mulching, pruning, and planting
I dream of spring
with each bulb I plant
a sea of color cascades
across brittle stems
seedpods rattle in the wind
my thought drifting to summer
Autumn Colors #Tanka Tuesday #Synonyms Only
Challenge 199 Synonyms only- Move & Make
I decided to write a haiku this week and then use a form called Troiku created by Chèvrefeuille at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai. This form uses each line of the starting haiku as the first line of the next haiku. It does not have to all be related, but I like to challenge myself to create one idea.
autumn colors drift
creating butterfly clouds
swirling around us
autumn colors drift
stirring memories when time
was at a crawl
creating butterfly clouds
enveloping the spirits
of our youthful past
swirling around us
the happiness of childhood
imbues our essence

decorating floating trees

the change of seasons
summer has ebb into fall
Altair and Vega now wait
