File Thirteen

for the outcast soul
lost hope and pipe dreams collect
in file thirteen

For Haiku Horizons’ Challenge, Prompt Word, “File”.


Just Magic

serendipity,
equal parts luck and timing
could be just magic

For Ronovan Writes Haiku Poetry Prompt Challenge. Prompt words: chance (serendipity) and equal. This is a photo I took this morning. Raindrops on pine needles. But as I prepared the artwork I was surprised to see a faerie face looking back at me! Can you see it too? I love when that happens…serendipity…or could be just magic! 🧚🏽‍♀️


Essence #20

just one more minute’s snooze
or rise before dawn cues

And Essence for Day 20 of Jane Dougherty’s Daily Essence Poem Challenge. My internal clock is still rebelling against the daylight saving time change. This was the view of the window from my pillow when my alarm clock went off at 6 am. The days are not long enough yet. Or maybe I am getting too close to retirement to maintain the grind. Five more years and counting…unless the government decides to raise the retirement age…or take away social security benefits…or both. Until them I am a prisoner of the clock next to my bed and the time clock at the office. 😦 But when I am off the clock…oh…then I write! 🙂


Monday Magnets

magic is in the air
dazzling flowers cling
to the trees, wooed
by warm breezes,
though winter lingers

-Another glimpse of the trees on my way to work. They are a lovely way to begin my day! 😊


Essence #19

blossoms burst snowy white
springtime’s first dazzling sight

Essence #19 for Jane Dougherty’s Daily Essence Poem Challenge. The medians on my way to work are lined in a sea of white blooms. I love the contrast of white on black branches…even if they make me sneeze!
