bright sunshine brings joy and hope
June invites stillness
I decided to eat breakfast outside this morning and just notice - using my sense of sight and hearing. I've been making a list of words to start my haiku writing of my observations and then playing around with how they might go together. Today's list is quite longer and included sounds of birds and shadows of flight. Maybe these list will circle back and help another day.
Today's Poetry Friday is being hosted by Buffy at Buffy's Blog.
We had blue sky all morning, then clouds rolled in for a short thunderstorm, now the sky of blue is back, will make a wonderful summer evening. I love that "June invites stillness" Mandy. My poem today reflects that, too. Hurrah for summer.
ReplyDeleteLovely haiku, especially your final line. Here's to more poetry from June's stillness!
ReplyDeleteStillness and haiku do seem like hand and glove. Sunshine brings me hope and joy, too.
ReplyDeleteOh, how lovely to eat breakfast outside on a beautiful summer morning. Along with joy and hope, I feel peace in your haiku,
ReplyDeleteDreaming of some "clear blue sky clarity" right now during the last few weeks of end-of-the-year obscurity. Love this haiku, Mandy. -- Christie @ https://wonderingandwondering.wordpress.com/blog/
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing quite like a quiet moment spent outside, drinking up nature.
ReplyDeleteLovely haiku. I like the idea of collecting lists of words to use in later writing.
ReplyDelete"June invites stillness."

Yes, June invites stillness. Would you like to pair this with a photo and send it to me for my spring gallery, Mandy?
