Standing still, untouched
Summer breeze bathing softness
Confidence rises
Simplicity is the key
Joy of plenty contentment
Today’s challenge is poet’s choice of words: I’ve chosen Confidence and Joy
Tanka Tuesday :: Joy

Very little grows on jagged rock. Be ground. Be crumbled, so wildflowers will come up where you are.
Rumi
Wildflowers are blooming in my garden. They are pretty, each one in its own way. They are looking for space, sharing the Earth and the sunshine.
Nurt Thurs – Path
No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.

Solitude #Haiga
just because
Flowers are the music of the ground. From earth’s lips spoken without sound.
Edwin Curran
just because it’s may and my garden is blooming!
noticing # 67
noticing signs of spring
from the blooming on the countertop
to the blossoms on the ground
the rebirth of dormant feelings
keeping awake and alert
the pink moon is up there
bathing my thoughts with clarity
it’s time to let go of the heaviness
and to be light
growth
And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

blue – haiga
blue immensity
from the skies to the oceans
you have all my heart
wondering what is hidden
beyond treasures and despair
it’s time for tanka tuesday, our own choice of words, for today i’ve chosen heart and despair.
i took this photo last week, the sky was so blue, no clouds around. i was waiting outdoors for my son to give me a ride and i was wondering what is beyond all this blue. not about the universe, planets, atmosphere and stuff, but about the mystery, the magic, what is there that we can’t see?
i wasn’t sure if it is appropriate to make a haiga using a tanka, instead a haiku, but i had more words and it wouldn’t fit as haiku, they needed to be written.
hope you have a great day!
go bananas
it’s all white out there, snowing again! it’s pretty but it’s time for the winter go away and make space for spring.
sunday stills today is tropical, and i go with bananas! i got these ones yesterday at the grocery store, they are from Colombia and are delicious.
it’s so great that with the harsh winter we can still taste the wonderful fruits from all around the world.
have a lovely sunday!
