WE ARE PUBLISHED!!! – #PoetsForPeace

We are published! I am honored to have been a part of this inspiring collaboration (you can see my entries on pages 57-59). Please find a quiet corner and immerse yourself in this dream of peace for our world. The sheer diversity of entries from around the world is breathtaking! We are so much more alike in our hopes for peace than we are different! May you, may we all know peace and learn to love one another. ~ kat

Do You Ribbit or Croak?


Time to get silly for my haiku blitz this evening. Did you know that toads are frogs? The dry land variety, but all part of the same classification…amphibia. I for one did not know this. (How ever did I make it this far in life?! It’s a wonder! :D)

Until now. I thought they were totally unique…like dolphins and porpoises. If you don’t know the difference between these two, it’s time to flex your Google fingers and learn something new! Never stop learning my friends!

Whether you ribbit or croak, a frog can be a toad or a frog…it’s all relative 🙂

some frogs are just toads
in need of dermabrasion
and moisturizer!

Love’s Undoing ~ a Haiku

Buds that stay shuttered
will miss the exquisite pain
of love’s undoing…

Crepuscular Ray Delusion ~ A Haiku


Clouds are just vapor
but when the sunlight streams through
they become heaven.

Magnetic Poetry Mondays – 19 September 2016

rain song at dawn

nature’s sweet poetry
uses vivid watercolors
to brighten the earth
