Haiku My Heart: Paintbrush








the sun dips its brush
first in the sky, then water
and paints love around



p.s. Please forgive me, fellow Haiku creators. . .
I am off for the weekend and am not taking e-devices.
I will soak in your genius when I'm back.
In the meantime, the 20 somethings are
holding down the fort and (I hope)
remembering to feed the felines
Deja Mew and Purrsnickety.

Okay, read mine first when you return, after you feed the cats.
This is, without a doubt, a beautiful photgraph, and your haiku matches impeccably. Just beautiful.

Peace.

Sometimes Things Aren't What They Seem

Sometimes things aren't what they seem. We settle in somewhere, thinking it's going to be safe and hospitable and just what we hoped for, a magical haven that provides us shelter from harm.

In fact sometimes things get downright hard and cold and unforgiving. Not at all what we expected. Do we stay and make the best of it or fly away to build a new nest somewhere else? Sometimes the most valuable lessons come from learning to see the beauty right in front of your eyes. Sometimes we bloom most gloriously when we learn to thrive just where we are and come to love just what we have. Maybe each of us is exactly where we need to be, learning lessons custom-made for us.

Haiku My Heart: May the Fourth Be With You

Haiku My Heart i invite you to imagine living in peace one day at a time I have to admit that I'm finding it hard to celebrate the birthday of my country having declared its independence from Mother England, when the country was founded on institutionalized slavery, the idea that white men were created equal but but black men were less than and women weren't even considered. We tend to glorify the "all men are created equal" phrase without looking at the reality. We can do better. We must.
