change
spring is coming
sense of hope

Change can destabilize and make one feel less secure at times. Imagine how worried Mother Nature must be with the drastic changes in the environment. No, we are not alone on this planet walking around with this sense of insecurity.

can the earth forgive?

The Secret Keeper word Prompts are: SENSE  SECURE WALK TIME ALONE

January 12’16 Daily Moments- Winters of Yore (Haibun)

Walking across the mall’s parking lot she looked up at the glorious blue sky. The sun was hiding behind a tiny grey cloud, probably snow in that one. And then she saw a huge grey mass. It was where the snowploughs push the snow. In the past ten days, the lovely air we breathe in this city added its global charm.

sun plays peak- a- boo
grey puffs drifting
frowning at our air
unforgiving images
masking the universe

Viewing her photos the dreary mountain disgusts her. The wonderful thing about art and photography is that one can alter eyesores to more delightful landscapes.

shading hills innocent and pure
O winters of yore!

pleasing to the eyes
softening harsh realities
soothing to the soul

deceiving beauty (tanka)

Water Hyacinth

misleading beauty
industries and farms purge,
Yamaska River
running through villages
like Saint-Hyacinthe
