Haiku Moment: green boas

green feathers, boas,

cushion path, moor silver threads

hide eight-eyed hunters

I’m going to to miss these lovelies, but not the walking into and through spider webs. But it was worth every minute spent trying to remove clinging strands to see such verdant green life.

We Survived the Eclipse: Story Through Photos and Haiku

A painting of the eclipse (red because it’s darker) – Art by Khloe

Our tiny view of the eclipse through a pin-hole camera

 

Boxes, foil and tape,

wondering children marvel

as sky lights shake hands.

Hayden and Khloe peeking at the solar eclipse

 

The daytime and night

heavenly bodies dance past,

a peek-a-boo tryst.

Gage trying to see the eclipse…he’s only 2, so was not impressed

Stacking rocks was more enticing than solar and lunar escapades

 

The waiting is long

Look, play, work, gaze, pinhole view;

Light sliver eclipse.

Taking a solar break – by hauling bricks

 

But how? Why? We gasp.

Fleeting, amazing, we stop.

Cooler, darker day.

Mabel was definitely more exciting to Gage than the sun and moon
