Enjoying this last day of #WriteOut writing Haiku and free verse poems with the community at the Arboretum

If the world were a fast falling fountain flowing hope could spring up now @wb2025 #haiku #HaikuPoetry #HaikuSunday #writeout #GibbonsFountain #Pittsburgh,PA #WriteOut

Hope springs up like a fountain spilling over heart borders and fears too The fall fountain falls Gently on the hurting place protecting one's peace #haiku #HaikuPoetry #HaikuSunday #writeout #GibbonsFountain #Pittsburgh,PA

Dear WriteOut, Oh how I 've missed you. Let me count the ways. Your light illuminates my path, your gentle breeze cools the heat of my thoughts, your blue sky sings of hope and healing, you are my solace and in your soft solitude I surrender. #WriteOut2025 #JapaneseBotanicalGardens #Pittsburgh,PA

The last official teacher day was today! I miss my kiddos! Now is the time to rest, heal, learn, advocate, teach, grow, inspire, engage in self-care, and spend time with my daughters! #summervibes #summer2025 #schoolisoutforsummer

Jack just followed Zachariah's creek, hunting freedom, his head held low, feet moving, faster than a flash of lightning, chasing down freedom, like a starved hell hound, craving liberty, its marrow to satisfy his searching soul @Peter Wentz Farmstead (Plantation) PA #Juneteenth

Juneteenth, is not just another holiday, it's a movement #keepmovinforward

This was a beautiful moment in my classroom- my ELL who speaks very little English, voluntarily helped my bilingual students convert their poems into Spanish, for their Father's Day poems! I loved seeing student collaboration!

Nature, nestled so beautifully beneath an open heaven, so peaceful, tranquil, picturesque, masterpiece, daunting, mysterious, rugged, inspirational, inspirational, humble, soaked in good gifts, like an unfurled leaf left for the taking. @WB2025

Hope is that chord crocheting gray clouds to sunbeams, you notice its pattern peeking along the frame of sullenness, waiting to balloon with joy Photography & poetry@wb2025

Mother’s Day without you is like, a petal-less long stem rose like the ocean without a single drop of water, like the moon lit sky without a single star to promenade its presence, Another day and hope is seeking sorrowful souls to save, my voice unfurls…”take me.” Photography&Poetry©WB2025

Sense can be made of it: a small man threatened by a giant of a woman. But how dreadful! Dr. Carla Hayden is simply Champion–of literacy, freedom to read, of diversity equity & inclusion. The loss of her leadership in the LoC is immense. Dr. Hayden, may you land where your light continues to shine.

Life is a purple prickly pear spiny cactus, beautiful danger @wb2025 #haikuSaturday #haiku #SonoranDesert

I spent two amazing days at the Tucson Festival of the Books! A HUGE thank-you to all the volunteers who made the experience possible! I loved meeting so many amazing readers!

Prickly pear problems probably require impactful practice of praise and prayer to prepare your heart for profound healing. Copyright@wb2025 Sonara Desert, Desert Museum, Tucson, Arizona

I attended an incredible session with @mrschureads.bsky.social at the Tucson Book Festival! 'Find what you love and be the ambassador of that thing! Pass on the love of stories!' John Schu

Steady as we go we link arms hold each other up stroke tear-stained cheeks or lend a shoulder, as needed. We spell compassion with a bowl of soup, a meal to stave off hunger. We carry hope gingerly as the precious gem it is and pass it round from one hand to another. Copyright 2025 by Nikki Grimes.
