unexpected pause
opportunity for art
making my way home
Day 22 -- #HaikuChallenge25
find strength from the earth
colors and shapes encircle
groundedness returns
Day 21 -- #HaikuChallenge25
disjointed pieces
dance in light and harmony
if we pause and look
Day 20 -- #HaikuChallenge25
visible, hidden
reaching out and letting go
interconnected
Day 19 -- #HaikuChallenge25
small scraps of fabric
joined together to make whole
new designs from old

happy birthday mom —
grateful we four will gather
to celebrate you
Day 17 -- #HaikuChallenge25
a flash of color
on a cold winter morning
holiday remnants
Day 16 -- #HaikuChallenge25
wings of a dragon
encircle a cup of tea
fanciful and free
Day 15 -- #HaikuChallenge25
hop, jump, run, and slide
time to party in the snow
where did they all go?
Day 14 -- #HaikuChallallenge25
riot of color —
springtime in the grocery aisle
but winter outside
Day 13 -- #HaikuChallenge25
close observation
flora, fauna, aliens
bring a smile today
Day 12 -- #HaikuChallenge25
genuflecting pines
bow down to the pristine snow
winter has arrived
Day 11 -- #HaikuChallenge25
vermillion orbs
juxtaposed upon winter white
a splash of color
Day 10 -- #HaikuChallenge25
palette of winter —
intricate lace of branches
watercolor sky
Day 9 -- #HaikuChallenge25
windows rattle, shake
the wind howls and whistles
grateful to be warm
Day 8 -- #HaikuChallenge25
grateful for a pause
an unexpected still life
beauty emerges
Day 7 -- #HaikuChallenge25
welcome reminder —
be open to visitors
whenever they come
Day 6 -- #HaikuChallenge25
familiar faces
bid farewell until next year
new memories made
Day 5 -- #HaikuChallenge25
ribbons of wood grain
gentle patina of time
gifts from olive tree
Day 4 -- #HaikuChallenge25
shape shifting patterns
create chaos for the eyes
hard to look away
