Cotton Candy Clouds

 


gulf pond
wafts with the sunset -
cotton candy clouds

* * * * *

Today's word prompt is "pond" but it didn't stop me from
creatively referring to the
Gulf of Mexico (up in the Panhandle)
as a pond.

HAPPY EARTH DAY!

on morning talk and touch
magnolia blossoms

On The Threshold



 
on the threshold
of a new season
azaleas astound

* * * * *

window view
harkens signs of spring
adrenaline spike

#

As I said to my brother this morning, the snow is melting.
I'm starting to get the shakes thinking about our upcoming gardening season.

Conversation

  
two rabbits converse  

near the bird feeder  


wonder if she’s filling  

the birdseed feeder  

today  

 

did you see her walk by

Full Moon in April

 

leafish light
cracks through the dense forest
under the egg moon

* * * * *

in her hand
a sweet ripe grapefruit
the pink moon

#

Full Moon is the Pink, Sprouting Grass, Egg, or Fish Moon


Blooms Near and Far

 



miles south
spring blooms share
nature’s sweet scents

* * * * *



artificial flowers
bloom year round -
floral air spray
* * * * *
I’m sure it is easy to guess which flowers are from the south where spring comes early, and which flowers are artificial where spring comes at its own leisurely pace .

The Reader

 

rainstorm  

serenades the reader  

an open window  


* * * * *


adventure novel  

takes one far away  

armchair travel  


* * * * *


from the arctic  

to tales of Hollywood  

Wanderlust  

Hands Are Full

  petrichor   heavy in the air   fills our hands
