Haiku in Red

One crimson leaf...like

a splatter of blood on the

newly fallen snow...

I am linking this to Poets United Thursday Think Tank. This week's prompt is 'the ugly that is beautiful'...blood is surely both!

The Gift of Simplicity

As a writer, photographer and mixed media artist, my heart finds its greatest joy in life's small moments. Sunlight sliding over wide, plank floors...crisp, curled leaves blown in by the wind...the ever-changing colour of clouds...these are the things that catch my eye and give me pause. I invite you to share these moments with me...to celebrate this day and cherish the things that make it unique. Be still for a while....halt the relentless chatter and movement that drive our daily lives. In that stillness...in the respite of silence, I believe you'll discover much about your world...and yourself.
