Essence #16

crystalline, cool stillness
blue serene, sweet greenness

Day 16 for Jane Dougherty’s daily Essence poem challenge. After yesterday’s bluster, today is a beautiful day. Too bad I’m stuck at my desk. At least the view is nice! 😊 Happy Friday!

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!


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. 🙂
