new dawn
spangled jewels
morning treasures
new dawn
piercing the horizon
nature’s hello
spangled jewels
last night’s fairy dust
glittering
morning treasures
dewdrops
shiny gems

Life offers many joys. One just has to stop and notice they are here even in the saddest times, under grey clouds and personal strife. She shuffles reflecting on her solitude wistfully aiming for the city park.

sitting on a park bench
giggling children
joy etched on lips
sitting on a park bench
swallows chirp
telling stories
giggling children
skipping, running joyfully
tag you’re it
joy etched on lips
brings new life
spirit glows

My haiga for this prompt at Carpe Diem:

giggling children
swallows telling stories
paints joy on lips
Crossing the bridge, she looks out the window of the bus and sees most of the ice has liquefied…a patch here and there as a reminder winter kept a stronghold on nature. What an imposing fellow Mister Winter can be sometimes!

last of ice patches
smaller boats trawl the waters
fish fear cunning bait

bullfrogs moo
drowning lovers’ moans

Ah the freshness of rebirth in Spring weather and she dreams of blossoms in April and Stanley Park in Vancouver.
budding promise
on the Pacific coast
cherry trees sway
Yet east of the country in Québec weather has its highs and lows…white as it may be, fluffy and unique in each detail, these snowflakes but still, SNOW is a four letter word!

green patches waiting
snow delays,
for dandelions

She took the day off from work …just because. Relaxing on her comfy couch, reading her book, she looks over at her friend, sitting leisurely on her throne.

savouring
no ordinary moment,
this blissful bond
