Snowflakes in March
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!
Hump day
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.
First signs of spring
Happy Spring everyone! We are still freezing here in my city in Canada, but last week I saw the first signs of spring while visiting New York City. Those tiny purple flowers on the ground made me smile.
Tanka Tuesday this week is a theme prompt: Fire and Water, below is my poem where I’ve chosen sunshine for fire and icy for water. Hope you enjoy it!
midday early spring sunshine warming up my face the ground still icy mixed feelings, blending moments losing the mind between thoughts
New York, New York
From the business of Times Square to …
… the calmness of Central Park. I really love this city!
green
blue and yellow blast i'm lost in a field of dreams edge of the abyss i look at my hands the tiny emerald ring roots me to the earth it's time to grow and renew the grass dancing with the breeze
Is anyone else feeling at the edge of the abyss? This winter has been so long and the creativity muse has left. Finally, this week the outdoors grey is giving some space for the sunshine and I’m starting to reclaim my creativity.
Tanka Tuesday this week is colours of the rainbow, green. My poem, consisting of a haiku and a tanka, intentionally doesn’t have the word green in it, but it has ‘green’ all over it. Hope you enjoy it!
Bending
cold slowly bending
the spring silent manifest
accepting the fate
Plenty of snow/ice around here, however, I can feel spring is coming. We had a warm-weather this long weekend, perfect for a stroll by the river. This week’s theme for Tanka Tuesday is Transitions. Well, winter to spring transition is always welcome!
Yellow beauty
yellow catching my breath mellow sunshine and summer welcoming radiant days freedom and lightness the beans of power bitter and hot, delicious at the crack of dawn snowflakes and freezing on my doorsteps, going out hat, scarf, gloves and boots
Lots of tulips at the grocery store last weekend! All colours, spring was in the air, I almost forgot the freezing weather outside. I got the yellow ones to warm up my home and my mood. This poem depicts my mornings this week, the yellow tulips on the kitchen countertop, the coffee brewing, the warm indoors contrasting with the cold and the snow outside. Hope you find wonderful flowers on your way today, if not in the garden at least at the grocery store!
Silent Sunday :: Raw
turquoise wings
moments childlike wishes the precious turquoise wings secret message for the chosen loved ones connected by a split second to the intuition eternally belief
Today’s prompt for Gratitude week with Michelle is about being grateful for paying attention and awareness to our surroundings and feelings. When I’m in my garden I pay attention to all the tiny little things/moments: a bird song, a butterfly, a feather, all the beauty that makes me smile, and also, to the not so nice stuff, like worms, beetles that eat my beautiful plants and make me angry. Well, I pay attention, and one day without expecting a dragonfly sits on a leaf close by, and at that moment I knew it wasn’t only an insect on a leaf but a beautiful messenger delivering love when I needed most.
Tanka Tuesday is week is “Write a butterfly cinquain (2-4-6-8-2-8-6-4-2) and include a colour”. I didn’t have a recently butterfly photo, however this dragonfly is gorgeous and perfect for my poem.
