Haiku Daily Challenge #19 - Debris

I've been absent for a few days... and now, I am back. Relieved and grateful.

DEBRIS

Pale splinters, sawdust
hopeful cedar entrails
unrestoration

Shadow hello... A Micropoem on February 14, 2011

I noticed shadows in my nature journal page

 La Cresta & Alta Vista.

The sun briefly came to play

Early Sunrise ~ February 14, 2011

blue-grey snake uncoils ~
Marshmellow cloud fluff ~
hills spurt orange

Daily Haiku Challenge: Love... In the Name of....

flames flicker in shapes
we elect to see meaning
does that hand say stop?

Low nattering threats
Volcanic anger ashes
Shouts beyond grumbles

Sunrise: February 10

Mountaintop crown glows
Coronation hour is now
Twenty four hour reign...

Daily Haiku Challenge: Day 10

Vanishing world

Empty chamber, prison-like

~ Move to the exit ~

Daily Haiku Challenge: Day 9 - 21 Years Old

I'll never know if
Her laugh would lilt, scrape or lift
Born into silence




My daughter, Marlena, would be 21 years old today.
She died at birth.

The Daily Haiku Challenge: Day 7 ~ Anger

Anger knows him well
Daily frustration sandwich
He can't put in words...



Emotions are challenging for children on the autistic spectrum. This season has been exceptionally trying for my son. Praying he moves through this quickly.

Daily Haiku Challenge: Day 6 = Leaf to Heart to Eyes

Scent moves beyond eyes
Lifts them to scan heaven's heart
Each leaf brings God's light




This poem was born from a prompt from the Daily Haiku Challenge.

Form leaves impression

Solo journey ends

Is Not

Breath of the "is not" ~

Pouring forth grapes from her womb ~ 

Allow pain to work

Amused by February's Sunrises

Small stone month is complete YET I have to continue sharing stones because... it was what I did before Small Stone month and... it is what I will continue to do.

One of my favored methods of "small stoning" was to write the sunrise and the sunset. Here in Bakersfield in January we had a true "I can see you sunrise" once or twice at best. Otherwise, I was left to be ultra creative with my stones.

February began with a bold "Ta-Da! I am here in all my rosy glory!"

So here are my first two sunrise stones for February:

February 1:
Ribbons of pink and gold sprint in the early morning light while the neighboring mountains applaud.

February 2:
Rose blush flirts with the morning star ~ Prelude to blasts of orange and gold now appearing ~ sun shows his peacock wings

Happy February, Friends!
