A bit of the bizarre for Jane Dougherty’s Daily Essence Poetry Challenge. This super-sized fellow stands guard at the rear of a local eclectic pizza eatery called ‘The Mellow Mushroom’. Just behind him are the dumpsters. One can’t be too careful when it comes to protecting rubbish! 😉

Day 17’s Essence for Jane Dougherty’s Challenge. A bit late to the party but it took the late afternoon sun to capture the magic. Meet my fluffy grey, Sebastian. ❤️


Bug Vespers

interrupted, the
vespers of this pious bug
‘say a prayer for me’

For Haiku Horizons Challenge Prompt: Bug.


Slim Chance Haiku

though chances are slim
to none, you will regret it
if you never try

Day 15 for Jane Dougherty’s Daily Essence Poem Challenge. March is roaring like a lion as blustery gales whip the blossom heavy branches of trees outside my window at work. Resilient little buds, those cherry blossoms! They’re hanging on!
