Listen to the Rain

Listen to the rain

drawing a picture as you

step over puddles.  

Be Here Now

Castaways dancing 

freestyle in the breeze as if

to say, "Be here now!"

Offering Grace

The lonely flower

Reaches out to passers by

Offering its grace.

Exhaling Magic

One armed and wingless,

The fairy exhales magic

As shadows cast light!

Eternal Hope

Waiting for the sun 

to shine casts eternity

As Hope lights the day!

Reaching Outward

Raindrops clinging to

Branches reaching outward as

Gifts of Spring arrive. 

Morning Calls

Note to Reader: I haven’t posted for the past eight years.  Social distancing brings me back.  In the past decade I have continued to make art and to work on my healing story. I have changed the prose to verse and am now in the editing process with the intent to share.  In the meantime I have taken to writing haikus during this time with the Coronavirus sending us inward. 

Is someone knocking? 

I get up to greet no one.

Ah, but calling birds!

Welcome spring!

I sit and listen

To the left and to the right

Spring is clamoring!

Social Distancing Haikus

Note to Reader:  I have been absent from my blog for the past ten years.  I took a reprieve from my writing and then years later I transposed my prose to verse.  I am in the midst of contemplating the editing process. With spring arriving, it seemed logical for me to keep engaging in verse and write daily haikus in response to the corona virus creating social distancing. Within the darkness, I celebrate the opportunity to return to my art and create to reveal light.  And so I pay tribute to Toni Morrison’s guiding words as I inscribed for the last chapter of My Daimon. “This is precisely the time when artists go to work.  There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity

Snow falls softly to
Welcome the third day of Spring.
Looking to engage...

Orchids abloom cast
Light with fire burning brightly
For stay at home time...
