W3 – Bird’s view
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
W3 – transformation
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.”
W3 – Meditation
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:
- Write an acrostic poem on any one of the following words:
- Discipline;
- Enthusiasm;
- Meditation;
- Tumult;
- Trouble.
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.
W3 – Dandelions

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.

W3 – Roses
Roses. My fave flowers always. I enjoy each phase of them, since the tiny blossoms to the later stage when the petals start to fall off. I dry the ones that are really special to me. I’ve been doing it for many years. This one above is a Valentine’s Day gift from around 10 years ago. It has dried beautifully, I realized that the red and yellow ones are perfect for the drying process.
This week W3 prompt is about our favourite flower and spring. I opted for a butterfly cinquain to express my feelings for the roses. Nothing as flowers and butterflies to represent spring.

Birthday
It’s my birthday and my garden for sure knows how to make me smile. All the tulips are blooming in both front and back gardens.
A gratitude list is perfectly fine for today:
- I’m drinking my coffee, writing this blog post and looking at the beautiful birthday card hubby and the kids gave me this morning
- I’m taking the day off from work
- It’s raining and I’ll spend the day reading and writing
- I’m feeling good and light
- Latter, I’ll buy a cake and pizza to celebrate the day
I’d love if you also share what you are grateful for.
Have a wonderful day yourself!

Arrival
A flash of light is entering through the window Bodies start to stretch after the long night. Good morning, bonjour, bom dia, buen dia, guten morgen … Many languages contained in a small space, all the dreams and expectations A baby babbling at the left, a toddler asking ‘are we there yet?’ at the right People are moving in the aisle, rushing for the lavatories The cabin crew is busy, checking if everyone is ok and collecting the night trash The coffee fragrance spreads along the plane, soon breakfast will be served, the landing approaches. Welcome to …“There’s something about arriving in new cities, wandering empty streets with no destination. I will never lose the love for the arriving, but I’m born to leave.”
