#PaintbyWords #ECK yet another barrier to my explorer’s want the need to know questions of why timetable for when who shuts me out what have I done and where are they now

The Sky Holds Everything 2-2026 The moon forgot to leave, the bird forgot to land — both just kept on going, the sky too wide to end Have a great weekend😎 #BirdOfTheDay #NegativeSpace #DaytimeMoon #Bird #Silhouette #Nature #SonyAlpha #Scape #CirrusClouds #Minimalist #PaintByWords #Vulture

Misplaced Anger Like a flash flood in a desert Never resolves on its own But gradually slips down into the soil Only to radiate back into the sky On northern shores My fair island outpost Beneath the Southern Cross An infinite & cyclical dreaming Arises the Kingdom of the Bower #PaintByWords #ECK

Up today at 5-7-5 Haiku Journal edited by DJ Tyrer: gatherings of night hang about the small corners whispers of soft rain More here: 575haikujournal.wordpress.com #haiku #night #rain

Today, our companion space, The Word Emporium, shares three words for late spring. Lucent. Verdurous. Mellifluous. Three words paired with three photographs: a quiet exploration of settled light, deepening green, and the soft hum of life in motion. open.substack.com/pub/thecurio...
