Cat and I have a cold so we are cuddled up together watching English murder mysteries. He says the human did it…I think he’s right.

This mornings crow. ✨

Mice scurry, spooked by wings embarking on midnight forage. Beyond the trees the coyotes yip and banter and small things stay quiet. The moon plays with shadows across the snow, trees becoming spectral, long fingers stretching while stars move through their stories. #vssdaily embark #vss365 spooked

Things I can’t abide, People crunching on apples, A lack of silence. #haikufeels abide

I have faith in trees, Hymns sung by the birds flying, Moss under my feet. #haikuchallenge faith

The field is paper, Footsteps drawn across white snow, Nocturnal journeys. #dailyhaikuprompt field

Is everyone realizing how many odd things I have in the studio? 😉

Are you looking for magic? Have you put it down somewhere, placed common sense on top of it by accident. Do you remember how it hummed, if it shone for you and beckoned? Can you think of a happy thought? It can be the smallest thing, like stars balanced on your fingers… #thingstowriteabout magic

When guests drop by unexpectedly.. ✨

She has the ups and down of an elevator with all the buttons pressed. An oddball pretending to be serious but secretly hiding a pocket unicorn. She is a polite nod and a how are you today but in her mind she is a trapeze artist balanced far above pleasantries… #vssdaily elevator #vss365 oddball

I am mostly snow, Not hail or chance of sunshine, I’m squall and flurry. #haikufeels hail

My morning is snow, White paper cutouts dancing, My world disappears. #dailyhaikuprompt morning

Today’s prompt.. ✨

We may have been a bit silly today.. ✨🦖

Mostly clueless. I am a kitchen sink in a lounge, soup served with a fork. Aimless on a clear path, distracted by brambles and lost in the briar. I am that one cloud that drifts across the moon wondering where I am and how to get down.. #vssdaily lounge #vss365 clueless

I call “tag! You’re it!” Running away while laughing, Worries hunt me down. #haikufeels tag

The east holds the sun, The day blushes and begins, Snow gently falling. #haikuchallenge east

Another new year, I make promises and goals, Eat the Christmas cake. #dailyhaikuprompt new year

Yesterday was an early start towards sunrise. ✨

She was a sail away from ordinary, an abstraction from events. She would charter a thought and abandon it midway, leaving it to drift. She was a coat put away with the pockets unchecked. Small seeds left for mice. Moths nibbling dreams among sycamore savings. #vssdaily charter #vss365 abstraction

I cut out labels, The scratchy declarations, I know what I am. #haikufeels label

Gone are my debuts, I am familiar and known, The birds call my name. #haikuchallenge debut

I miss summer friends, The cornflower and wild blooms, Warm days of colour. #dailyhaikuprompt cornflower

The cold mornings.. ✨

Don’t tell my fortune, my tea leaves when the bag burst. Don’t read my palm, paint splattered life line. I will walk into the room without the light on & invariably bump into something but you don’t have to tell me. Sometimes I find things better if I stumble in the dark… #thingstowriteabout

Hello new year, you tempter of things that I dream. You delightful tease of possibility. Will you be kind? Are you saving a torment for later? You unroll your days unmarked & new. Each month a new picture and I wonder who I will be at the end. How will you change me? #vssdaily hello #vss365 delight

Full of ideas, I am a clutter of thoughts, Trying to pick one. #haikufeels idea

We sleep till daylight, Shake the darkness from our hearts, Open the curtains. #haikuchallenge daylight

The new year begins, Like a small thread we will weave, What are we making? #dailyhaikuprompt thread

Happy New year! ✨🌌

New Year’s Eve moon. 🌔✨

I am a curiosity, A simple ebb and flow, Day dreamer of distraction, A thoughtful to and fro, I am a swirling noggin, Forgetful but with tea, Adrift, away with fairies, But always, ever me. #thingstowriteabout curiosity flow

Much respect to all the small birds that survive the winter storms. ✨

She’s made of dreams stitched together from circumstance and hope. She stands on the edges of things, cliffs & train platforms, contemplating endings. But she is bound to life. She buys a balloon & imagines it lifting her beyond rooftops watching poems sing far below. #vssdaily cliff #vss365 dream

Is the year ending? Can we breathe now and relax? Not another one! #haikufeels year

A bleary eyed dawn, I watch the sun stretching up, The clouds blushing pink. #haikuchallenge dawn

The end of the year, I hope next year is clear sky, But I expect storms. #dailyhaikuprompt clear sky

Today is December 31st so as we head into the new year there is a choice of two or both prompts.. #curiosity and #flow (maybe you recognize the cat…) #thingstowriteabout

I want a picnic, Sandwich and cake, Somewhere that’s green, Maybe down by the lake, Not in this season, Far too much snow, But I’m planning a picnic, Only four months to go.. #thingstowriteabout picnic

Winter teaches me to seize moments..the tiny calms in-between storms.

This time of year you are stuck. Snow barricaded and wind that gnaws. There is no row, row your boat and the stream is hushed. You travel in wishful thinking. Plot escapades and learn the Italian for elephant. You are prepared. Restless under duvets, dreaming of maybe. #vssdaily row #vss365 travel

You empty the ash, Throw it out onto the path, So that I don’t slip. #haikufeels ash

Winter shows its teeth, Icicles along the roof, Zig Zag fringe melting. #dailyhaikuprompt icicles

Bullrush. ✨

Never where I put them, The things I always lose, The little thingy wotzits, That leave behind no clues, It’s either sprites or gremlins, Of that I am quite sure, Tricksters while I’m sleeping, Leaving Lego on the floor. #thingstowriteabout gremlin

I put on my summer shoes, soles of my feet now in sand. Grains that gathered on hot walks and were never shaken out. I sit and close my eyes, wriggle my toes. Outside the winter storm rages but I am hearing the ocean, I am warm in recollections, sand now on the carpet. #vssdaily sit #vss365 sole

I steal a moment, Tuck it away in my heart, So it keeps me warm. #haikufeels steel

The windows are ice, The storms leftovers still here, I’m hidden from cold. #dailyhaikuprompt cold

Sometimes you just want to try something new..✨

I would like a typewriter, A click clack for my writing, A bell to end my sentences, That works in any lighting, I’d feed it all my paper, Give it ribbons and a name, I’m sure it would inspire me, To be in writing fame. #thingstowriteabout typewriter
