with colors, drawings and paint

A thousand words on method
How many will stand?

empty mind

so liberating

so thought less

sunny summer noon
breeze over a silent field
crickets podium

alabaster curls
a mahogany spirit
she is pure magic.

A little experiment in painting on the tablet -

Summoned by wet scrawls,
Old magic daubed on new walls,
Careful what you call

Inevitable

Not all endings have
beauty, nor always carry
hope for renewal.

our porch is citrine
an early cut of sparkle

Reflections project
unwanted emotional
frames of reference

she waits by the light
of the moon pulling the tides
and her heart to sea

wunderbunt trägt durch die Nacht

Kommt gut durch die Nacht

Like an overstuffed backpack
Time to put it down

Nickname for her aunt
She called her “my Katydid”
I still remember

Prompt ~ Katydid (7th August)

A nice little memory of my childhood friend Stephanie, who is no longer with us.

savage persistence
a hope that bleeds to believe
grips my soul with love

het is nog geen herfst

maar ik vreet mijn buikje rond

bramen en bessen
