Essence #26

shadows long, sun shaded,
bird song serenaded

A beautiful, crisp, spring day; birds all a-twitter; no snow in the forecast…today’s Essence #26 for Jane Dougherty’s Daily Essence Poem Challenge.


Essence #25

dawn’s first blush, muted hues,
ice-kissed hush, sunlit blues

Day 25 for Jane Dougherty’s Daily Essence Poem Challenge. Not the storm of the century predicted, but lovely in the afterglow.


Essence #24

clouds of grey, muted light
cold spring day, dressed in white

Day 24’s Essence for Jane Dougherty’s Challenge is dressed in white…again. Winter is not finished with us yet. Another tantrum expected today. I shall be heading out for milk and bread soon…I’m kidding of course. There are a few other things on my shopping list as Saturday is my go to market day. I truly dread having to mingle with the bread and milk fiends. At any rate, bad weather is the good news for today…while orange is off golfing our children will be marching in the streets for their lives. Spring snow is a dreary diversion from the madness, but also a sobering reminder of a bitter chill that refuses to leave.


Essence 23

the orange fool went mad
now he’s a tool for Vlad

A little photoshop fun for Jane Dougherty’s Daily Essence Poem Challenge Day 23. What can I say? I needed a bit of comic relief from the madness of Washington. The bad news is assaulting us with dizzying rapidity these days. And if you know me, I could not let the month pass without poking at least once at the Orange Fool in Chief. One can wax poetic about the weather only so much. I hope it has the intended smile from you that I’m hoping for. I had fun creating it. Peace and perseverance y’all. It will be over soon, one way or the other, hopefully with no casualties, save the reputations of the complicit. Fortunately, we still have term limits.

 


Essence #21


calendars say it’s spring
but today, it’s snowing

Day 21 for Jane Dougherty’s daily Essence poem challenge…another sign that winter is a rude guest that has no trouble wearing out his welcome. I admit he looks beautiful doing it, but I am so over him!
