Approach to stillness
Keep the poise all the moments
Magic will surface


Midnight stirs
Dazzled by the past
Brightest light
Without ground to stead
Balance nowhere to be found
Fluttering always
Tanka Tuesday words for this week are: Enchant and Fly, synonyms only! I opted for Shadorma (3/5/3/57/5 lines) and the words Dazzled and Fluttering.
Hope you enjoyed it, this little poem expresses my feeling these last days.

Happy September to you!
The weather is getting cooler and the sunlight is gorgeous in the mornings and at the end of the day. September gives us a taste of the fall when Earth has a party of colours.
Sharing with Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday

A photo prompt! Love it! Thanks Colleen for including it as one of the weekly prompts for your poetry challenge. This week prompt is this charming photo.
Here is my take!
Wishes and passion
Delivering my message
A piece of paper
To a faraway harbour
To a faraway moment


My pitch-black coffee
Awakening my senses
Glowing soft flowers
The words for Colleen’s poetry challenge this week are dark and light, synonyms only! I’ve chosen pitch-black and glowing for my Haiku.
Hope you are having a great weekend!

A simple flapping
The pure essence of freedom
Showing us the path
Hello you!
I had a few weeks of vacation, I went to the beach and enjoy each moment of each. I was surprised when I got home and saw how my garden was blooming, flowers and butterflies everywhere. It’s nice to be back and to see that I don’t need to travel far to have beauty around me. But, of course, I could do with few weeks at the beach every couple of weeks 🙂
Joining Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday, today words are Nature and Clean, synonyms only, so I used Essence and Simple in a Haiga (Haiku + Photo).

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

my full awareness
a walk between the roses
transforming my day
The words for today are: Influence and Perception, synonyms only, so I go with: transforming and awareness for Colleen’s poetry challenge.


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!
