Essence #14

melted snow, muddy swamp
where my dogs go to romp 😫

Day 14 for Jane Dougherty’s Daily Essence Poem Challenge. My poor hardwood floors…and don’t even ask me about the furniture!!! 😮


Essence #13

winter stings budding trees
soon comes spring’s balmy breeze

Essence #10

feathered shadow in flight
cat aglow with delight

Day 10 of the Essence (formerly known as the Florette) for Jane Dougherty’s Daily Short Form Poetry Challenge. This is my cat Casey. She will stare that window for hours just to catch a fleeting glimpse of a bird in flight or a squirrel scampering. It’s a Saturday morning thing. She haunts the corner edge of my bed and I prop myself up on pillows and plunk poetic thoughts on my keyboard. It is very possible she is a muse. 🙂


Not a Florette but an Essence Poem #8

iced fury, wintry rush,
snow flurried, spring’s first blush

Photo taken on my way to work today, for Jane Dougherty’s daily poetry challenge, an Essence poem (not a florette, which is actually a longer form.) Henceforth, March’s daily poems will be labeled Essence poems. And they are still as challenging as ever! 😊


Florette #7

wasted hours can’t be seized
time devoured ne’er retrieved
