Overlooked is the little gray bird
Whose bright colored friends are often preferred
But this little bird won’t be deterred
As it barely conceals its tufted head.

Beach Holiday
Bound to an office chair
Eager to depart
After work I’m going where
Chilling out is an art
Heading for the beach!
Brain is not on duty
Afternoon is dragging on
Leave early? Absolutely!
Later gators - I am gone
See you in a week! (If I still have a job)

Heavy Burden
I carry the world upon my shoulder
Its burdens on my back
Faith carries me forward
Though I cannot continue on faith alone
Grant me a sliver of evidence
Empirical proof
That I am on the right track
Then my load shall be lightened

Cavern
Blackest of black
Subterranean hideaway
Water trickling
Damp and slick
Torchlight
Revealing shades of brown
Skittering shadows
Grotesque faces in rock

Canada Goose
Ice Melt
Ice
Melting
Drips dropping
Rivulets merge
Into riverflow
Slipping over boulders
Descending mountain channels
Winding through the verdant valleys
Melted ice frolicking in the sun
Dancing to the toe tapping summer rain
Glacier water mingling with playful raindrops
Flowing through picturesque towns and mammoth cities
Tasting salt – tidewaters enthusiastic greeting
Icemelt tumbling
Churning soft sand
Open water
Flowing freely
Rising upward
Waving goodbye
W3 Prompt #70: Wea’ve Written Weekly’s poet of the week Elizabeth prompts us to: “…write a poem in “Tree of Life” poetic form about changes, impermanence, and strength.”
Transformation
A caterpillar
Does not question its purpose
Peaceably munching
Its transformation will come
Without force or objective
Prompted by Eugi’s Moonwashed Weekly Prompt – Peaceable and Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge (FOTD)
Magical Moon
A restless night plagued by deep thought. I rise from bed and make my way outside, barefeet rooted to damp ground. Looking to the heavens, I am greeted by a super moon. The source of my agitation having roused my inner sea.
Magical blue moon
Bestow your power on me
You can move oceans
dVerse host Frank prompts us to: “Write a haibun that alludes to the Super Blue Moon.”
