#Haiku Branches
Skinny trees stand tall,
Leafless, reaching azure sky,
Black bird waits on branch.

Here’s one thing I know,
Standing under orange sky,
I’m still chasing dreams.
#WordlessWednesday ‘Resolutions’ #Tanka #HappyNewYear
Resolutions
January sun
Teases dry, winter branches,
Like resolutions
On New Year’s Day, reminding
Dreamers there’s hope once again.
#SundayWalks ‘Daylight Moon’ #Tanka
The moon in daylight
Must feel very out of place
Alone in blue sky
Missing twinkling stars. Sometimes
The sky’s too bright to be loved.
Displaced, waning moon
Staring at the glorious sun
In cloudless, blue sky.
Everyone ignores pale moon
While the bright sun is shining.
#SilentSunday Bexhill #Haiku
Sea, sky, space, fresh air,
Breathe in the calm, walk taller,
Tomorrow repeat.

#NaPoWriMo Day 22 ‘Earth Day’ #poetrymonth #April #Poems #Tanka #Haiku
National Poetry Writing Month is a poetry writing challenge to write a poem a day, which takes place every year in April. Follow the link to find out more, be inspired, get daily prompts and meet other poets!
For Day 22, 22nd April, Earth Day, my poem is an acrostic combination of a tanka (Earth) and a haiku (Day).

Earth, precious planet,
An oasis in vast space,
Repairing man-made bruises,
Tarnished, wounded, weakened, yet
Healing heavy heart.

I took this photo from a plane over the Canary Islands at sunset.
Dazzling skies, clean land,
Alluring seas, lakes, oceans,
Yesterday once more.
****
Few sights are more breathtaking than the view of the sky from a plane.
#Writephoto Autumn #Tanka
This Tanka was written in response to Sue Vincent’s weekly photo prompt.
Autumn
Trees stare at river,
Watching rippling reflections.
River stares at sky,
Admiring its vast blue hue.
Leaf falls on grass, blade quivers.
****
Hope you’re having a wonderful Sunday!
#WordlessWednesday ‘Full Moon’ #Haiku
Gazing at full moon,
More alluring than any
Silver star, beaming
Boldly in night sky,
Brighter than the summer sun,
Magnet granting dreams.
#AtoZChallenge ‘T is for Three Trees’ #Haiku #NaPoWriMo #PoetryMonth
Tree 1
Tired branches twist
While sun breaks through dangling leaves
Proud tree weeps alone
****
Tree 2
Buttercups look up
Weary olive tree recalls
When it bloomed in spring
****
Tree 3
Lofty palm tree sways
Leaves scrape salmon tinged dusk sky
A feast for my eyes
****
This year is my fourth AtoZ Challenge. My theme this year is poetry once again. I’ll be writing a haiku a day, but I’m also adding a new hobby to the posts, photography. I will post one of my photos, or a donated photo, every day to accompany my haiku.
This April, I’ll also be sharing my poems and joining another group of poets at National Poetry Writing Month, organised since 2003 by Maureen Thorson. Write 30 poems in 30 days. I’m in! What about you?
