dear
be still
a soft song
the rain whispers
throughout the window
clouds are crying for me
the stress slowly dissipates
i will fly free as a feather
for forgiveness and absolution
a believer of possibilities
joining Reena’s exploration challenge – must include the word rain. i’ve chosen an Etheree poem to depict my feelings when i took this photo from my office window a few weeks back.
water bird with a long beak - for scooping up fish
striking image in the sky - the 10 feet wingspan
deep into your emotions - in V formation
pure focus and persistence - spirit animal
Tanka Tuesday prompt this week is to write a Imayo poem about a bird.
Pelicans are my favorite birds. They remind me of the ocean and vacation. I only see them when I’m on vacation at the beach in the south. I love the symbolism they represent as a spirit animal, the freedom and self-understanding they demonstrate when flying.

Happy July to you! Can you believe that half year has gone by?
Tanka Tuesday this week is about Celtic tree astrology, mine is Willow Tree. There are many Willow trees in my neighbourhood. I took the above photo this morning while walking to watch the sunrise. Sadly, it was cloudy and I didn’t see the full moon, this month it is called Thunder moon.
Hope you enjoy the Nonet, and Happy 4th of July to my USA friends!

Moonwashed Weekly Prompt – Amused
Happy Summer!
Isn’t it wonderful summer is finally here after a long winter and a rainy and smoky spring? Hope the wildfires are under control and give us a break during the summer.
What are your plans for the summer? I’ve decided my best option is NO plans, only take it easy and enjoy day by day.
Bird's view look at those humans always running and worrying in a blink of an eye precious moments go away if only they knew how they look like from up here on this wire they are small dots lost in this immense planet pleasing others and forgetting themselves if only they knew how important they are a universe in a droplet perfection in each flaw one of a kind if only they knew how to fly higher on grounded feet
wings of transformation hidden beneath the mystery a message from faraway or close by its beauty is softness letting go of the weight opening up to the possibilities immersed in lavender scent reminds me of calm no hurry the time will arrive you will find the truth
My garden is blooming with flowers and butterflies, from time to time a dragonfly shows up, and I like to believe it has a message for me.
“The Dragonfly has been a symbol of happiness, new beginnings and change for many centuries. The Dragonfly means hope, change, and love.” You can find more about it here.
W3 prompt this week is “Write about the first wild creature that you see which inspires you on the day you write your poem.”
Memories from my childhood Exit through each pore in my skin Destiny masks the truth In search of the path Temptation or reality Action or dream Time is the culprit Irrational sense of power Overpassing what matters Now and here
W3 prompt this week has been chosen by Punam:
Since I’m working on my Meditation skills I had to pick Meditation as the word for the poem.
Now and here, or better, as I like to say HERE and NOW! It’s so difficult to keep our mind in the present, to observe and to feel the moment. The past always shows up, memories popping up and taking us back to the moments and situations that can’t be changed at this exact moment. I have come a long way, I’m much better now focusing on the present, but it’s a rough path, nothing smooth as the path on the photo above. I call this path a secret path, it’s in a park almost in front of my home, and only a few people walk on it. So, it’s my secret spot to do a quick walking meditation.

First time writing an Elfchen poem (see the instructions below). This form was suggested by Sadje. She asked us to write one poem and another one opposing the first one.
Dandelions are my favourite wildflower, so the first poem is really what I meant about them. However, I know some people that really hate them.
An elevenie (German: elfchen) is a short poem with a given pattern. It contains eleven words which are arranged in a specified order over five rows. Each row has a requirement that can vary.
