Full of Gratitude

 


full of gratitude  
words images and type  
runneth over  

National Poetry Writing Month (NaPoWriMo) eve

 

This is my first year participating in National Poetry Writing Month, NaPoWriMo, after watching friend poets at THE DAILY HAIKU post and share content last year.

I'm still new at haiku and loving it so I'll be writing content primarily in the haiku form(s). As someone else said, the content here will be drafts that may be revised if/when they eventually get published elsewhere.

Inspired by today's early bird prompt:

“To be a Flower, is profound / Responsibility" by Emily Dickinson


mustn't disappoint -

flowers hold weight of the world

on their petals

or

mustn't

disappoint

Life's Winding Staircase

 

life's winding staircase  

with joy we run up higher  

mindful of each step 


Jeweled Trees

 



 
jeweled trees  
night diamonds ... morning pearls  

spring impermanence  


Morning Repast

 



morning repast 's  
appearance of being alone  

friends presence a present  

*

(Even if their presence is virtual or imaginary.)

Poets World-wide

 



poets world-wide  
each friend a flower  

facing the sun as  

they write verses  

of love and loss

Sing Me a Smile

 

lean toward the sounds  
as returning birds fly by  

sings me a smile  


***** 

so so wonderful -  

this keen love of nature  

fills the empty-handed  


*****

THE DAILY HAIKU  

best gift to myself  

mindfulness  


Stand Strong

 
 

no whispering  

time to loudly support  
Ukraine  

*****

nothing stays the same  

flowers sprout, open, and close  

stand strong in the sun  

Hands Are Full

  petrichor   heavy in the air   fills our hands
