a feast for the eyes and soul
drink in the colors

Blackout Poem: pretend
I’ve been wanting to try a blackout poem for quite some time. And then I found this falling apart, old copy of Pippi Longstocking and decided to give it a try. The thinking and imagining is quite different when one is removing words instead of adding them. It’s a fun challenge!
Haiku Moment: frog prince
wanted: frog to kiss
why are you hiding from me?
lips coming your way
not interested?
maybe I don’t need a prince
just a froggy friend

Haiku Moment: true flowers
bees and bumbles buzz

work to do, to do

This is our third successful (meaning: no earwig damage) allium crop! Maybe next year should be a season of rest for the garden beds when I grow just alliums and let the exploding earwig population die off a bit. The idea does bear tasty consideration…
Haiku Moment: leek princess
seeking light, water
face to the sun, wearing your
tiny fairy hat
buds tight with promise
urgency to bloom and seed
hello leek princess
