frost spreads in fractals the shape of the old cedar on the ageless moon

in these darkest days the light I trust— glistening snow in moonlight starlings mirroring the night sky something in me, listening #tankathursday (true) #tanka #TankaPoem #micropoetry #haiku

Here’s the poem I came up with and the photo @karenpgonzalez.bsky.social shared. #EkphrasticFolkArt 💜

Fallen leaves drawn into this drain in Mill Hill, make accidental street art. Each piece unique - a veritable gallery of seasonally coincidental creativity.

& rise of full quiet moon (cold corvid moon?), 1st of 2026 (so long hill & river moon, time of moonlight flitting)

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

on and off again the moon’s romance with the clouds the long winter night #haiku

George Saunders: "Becoming a better artist, in my experience, is a matter of learning, over and over, what you *just plain like*, no reasons needed, and then doing that thing as if it’s all that matters."

Sole tree on the edge of the gully naked against the wind looks like a planted quill endlessly writing the history of this land #vss365

it says break the glass Let it fall back into sand stolen from the sea #haiku

a Magpie rocketing through space games within games within games

Still up at dawn I'm startled by an abstraction of dark slinking by my sliding door it takes a moment for its catness to coalesce in my mind - two yellow eyes and then the void is gone and only my thudding heart remains #vss365

Winter wind scatters shoreline plovers like dry leaves, sky hums with their wings. #Haiku #DailyHaikuPrompt Plover

my good fortune -- when winter's cold outside, home's warm inside #thingstowriteabout #home #inkMine (fortune) #senryu #poem ❤️🔥

Goodnight. May we all dream of the moon as all self-respecting hares do until we wake to the promise of a new day.

Ocean Magic The special spell cast by the sea on a packed beach lets anyone who wants to be alone with the ocean, half-heard human talk as natural as the passing voices of gulls. winter beach a half moon climbs through cloudless sky #haiku #haibun with added title & edited prose

midnight cold the handsome guest brings me liquor #senryu

cold wolf moon our notions of home on thin ice #ThingsToWriteAbout #haiku #senryu #poetry

light ebbing at dusk feeling the salt of the sea pulling on my bones

last day of the year (how light aches in its rise), settle of thin frost (stiffen of laundry on the line), scent of diesel as a tractor lumbers uphill, birds on the feeder before you turn your back from filling it

1st. Solway. huge skies & barbed wire. curlew & memento mori. lapwing & gorse in flower. moon 2 days from full.

Worn #soles of old boots From wandering for so long Now at journey's end #vss365 #haiku #poetry

a fresh page to fill with the joy of all you are happy new year #haiku

Contrariwise, I know myself endlessly ancient— my stardust molecules have traveled farther than night's starlight could ever see— but she is fresh & precious as a new-fallen joy #HappyNewYear
