in the depth winter
my mind wonders in darkness
short days and long nights
the full moon is the witness
i look for the hidden hope
i search for droplets of spring

Haibun :: new beginnings
A glass of wine, a yarn, and little by little layers are born. The waiting and expectation are building up as I look through the window. A new year is approaching!
snowdrops at midnight
welcoming new beginnings
shining as diamonds

Tanka Tuesday :: December
december is here in all its glory
buying a new calendar
surrender to the end
a month for many presents and parties
money is going away
winter desolation
the heavy snow isn't giving us a break
some tasks are imperative
trimming the Christmas tree

tanka tuesday :: through the window
i'm looking through the window the flakes shinning as diamonds the ground is blanketed by early winter dusk outdoors is inviting me the dry air is refreshing passion arises as the warmth around the hearth a scarf wrapped around my neck leather boots dressing my feet gloves caressing my fingers chilly north winds blow
Joining Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday.
one autumn morning
it's six am the moon is up there autumn sky sprinkling dew she's always spying on me warms up my being autumn is pumpkin bonfire scent candles, always candle-light haloed flame it fills my being I'm in awe a warm cup of joy an Himalayan white tea sacred spot these leaves have traveled distant seas to reach me pen and paper by my side safeguarding moments my thoughts and wishes which shouldn't be scattered, lost in this space

harvest moon
the blessed harvest moon illuminating my path she brings me back home pumpkins, apple cider, gnomes all awaits for my return

tanka tuesday :: innocence
merciless talking an innocence from madness silence is the say the eternal punishment desirable forgiveness
tanka tuesday synonyms only for quiet and seek. I’m using silence and desirable for my poem.
these gorgeous white flowers called my attention yesterday, maybe a sign from nature? i looked up for their symbolism:
White flower symbolism includes purity, innocence, faith, spiritual enlightenment, and messages from angels. Uniguide.com
i’ve been walking in a rough path recently. purity and innocence can explain a lot to me right now, and maybe i’ll forgive myself.
Tanka Tuesday – End of summer
the end of summer tears birthing the morning dew sadness veils my soul
Pelican
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.
