A question for you: If you could go back 20 years ago and change your path, would you do it?
pensive
light and shadow
the farce of a moment
going ahead, taking a turn
pausing
return to an uncertain past
carving a safe future
depression sight
focus
A butterfly cinquain for Tanka Tuesday.
gratitude garden
where colourful dreams lay down
the tenderness floats
Many years ago we seeded a few tulip bulbs around our maple tree, just in case they decided to show up, not much care, a few digs and the bulbs were laid to rest. It was a cold October day, and I didn’t want to go outside, I sent hubby to do the job and I watched him through the living room window. Throughout the harsh winter, we forgot about the bulbs, but in the following spring the most gorgeous tulips popped up. Since then, we have had the most beautiful tulips garden on the street, the neighbours stop by to appreciate them.
Tanka Tuesday is all about colours this week. Nothing more colourful than my tulips, so I wrote a Haiku for them. Hope you enjoy it!
may we start May smiling as the flowers
may we start May soft as a breeze
may we start May free as the waves
may we start May standing tall as a tree
may we start May free as our dreams
may we start May content
Spring is finally here on my side of the world. Flowers, rain, fresh rain, birds, Earth fragrance. Nature is having a party loaded with beauty.
The first flowers in my garden are tulips, my favourite spring flowers.
The public gardens in my neighbourhood have lots of them, each one prettier than the other. It’s such a blessing for my eyes and soul to look at them, stop and take a photo (or more than one). These few minutes of pleasure are like meditation.
A happy new week to you!
magical moment the waves coming and going freshness on my face deeply into the abyss hallucination comes true
Tanka Tuesday this week is TANKA PROSE:Â “We write Tanka prose from the first-person point-of-view. The prose paragraph(s) must also seek to be, if not poetic, at least something that grabs our attention. It must compete with the verse in its style, intending to be inventive and expressive all on its own.“
I took this photo during the weekend, the weather was fabulous, perfect to wander around and take photos. I thought the photo is perfect for a tanka poem. Hope you enjoy the poem and the photo.
mouthwatering blue
a nature’s delicacy
sumptuous berries
Breakfast anyone? With the arrival of spring all the fresh and delicious berries start to show up at the stores. I enjoy to ate a handful of them early morning, it’s like I’m gifting myself with a load of antioxidants.

between tubes and plates experiments going on the results inspire it's all science is about little by little positive or negative questions and answers the pathways are completed the enchantment is broken
Tanka Tuesday this week is Share your Day! I’ve chosen to share a little bit of my workday with you using a poetry form called chĹŤka. The photo represents how sometimes I fell when doing my job. Hope you enjoy it and guess what is my job about.
We are having snowflakes again this weekend, maybe the last ones of the season, and they always bring the feeling of ‘farewell’ the winter is gone and Earth is getting ready for a new cycle.
Seasons change, so do we.

Hope you have a wonderful Sunday!
Yes, above is the photo of Sunday breakfast, today it is only yogurt and cereal, not worth a photo. Hump day means the middle of a workweek, 2 days gone and 2 more to go, in my case 3 to go, today, Wednesday, is one of the longest workdays for me. I’m starting now at 9 and I go until around 7 pm. And I made the mistake to open my email earlier, and I already saw many extra tasks to crunch into my day.
I’ll try to make today a great day, hope you do the same.
