The theme at One Deep Breath this week is “Solitude.”
Here’s what Susan had to say about the theme: “At times we seek solitude. In traditional Japanese haiku, the poet often seeks to portray wabi-sabi which has many interpretations in Western culture. In general, the meaning implies beauty in imperfection, impermanence, and incompleteness. (see Wiki […]

Over at One Deep Breath, the theme for the past week has been “The Sound of Music” and we’ve been urged to write and post a haiku about the role of music in our lives. I know it’s time for a new prompt, this being Sunday, but I thought I’d post something at the last […]

The theme at One Deep Breath this week is “Coffee and Tea” and rather than a traditional haiku, I decided to write a Fib.
Tall,
dark,
and hot.
Not a man -
Columbian roast,
steaming in a crazy cat mug.

“Caffeine Crazy”

Hi, Honeys, I’m home!
Obviously I did NOT have internet access in the mountains, but below is what I would have posted Saturday if I’d been able to get online. I had an ok time - not the best ever and I have to say I’m reallyReallyREALLY glad to be home again, but parts of it […]

I think the prompt over at One Deep Breath this week is SO cool! The challenge is to write a Fib - a variation on Haiku where the line and syllable count is based on the first few lines of the Fibonacci Sequence, a mathmatical sequence sometimes found in nature (nautilus shells, for instance) and […]

I just popped over to see what the prompt is this week at One Deep Breath and found out the theme is “Pathways.” Cool! I took a photo just a few days ago that fits that theme and it made me think of a Haiku. So here we go.
My shadow rushes
ahead, eager to reach the
path. […]

This may seem like an odd day to do a TwoFer blog post, considering how loooooong (but I hope entertaining!) my painting post ended up. But I’m going to do the TwoFer anyway because I woke up this morning with a Haiku in my head and I’ve really gotta get that thing outta there before […]

1. I finished Dean Koontz’s latest book, “The Husband.” I liked it! He does some books that have a sort of paranormal twist and some that are straightforward suspense novels. This was one of the latter. I don’t want to say much, since this is a Spoiler-free Zone, but I thought it was very good. […]
