Rumbling winter storm –
Ents are dancing with their wives –
ancient limbs entwined

Tan Renga: Single Frosty Rose
A new year begins
With the blooming
Of a single frosty rose (Mizuhara )
at twilight water beads form
each one with its own story…

Peonies In Bloom
Aah, the peonies!!!
All photos here taken in my garden!! Yep, I can’t believe it either:)
peonies in bloom –
at a pace of her own
she unfurls in a lazy stretch
in worship of the sun

Tan Renga: Temple in the Sky
temple in the sky
the road opens
a slice of blue sea (Ubugu)
beckons the wind tossing waves
in play frolicking at the shore
temple in the sky
the road opens
a slice of blue sea (Ubugu)
near days end the setting sun
builds it’s beach side audience

Tan Renga: A Still Water
such a still water
even the dragonfly
splash it with the tail

sending ripples through the clouds
that are peering up at me

Tan Renga: Silence
silence
in the blind wind’s dance
blossoms (Jane Reichhold)
scurry along the ground’s surface
caught in a wave of leaves

Perspective

Prompt words: Ethereal, placid, meander, forget, silver
PERSPECTIVE
white foamy waves dash toward shore, strains of my life
nothing ethereal about them on their approach
angry waves morph to placid waters
as they ease upon the sand
mesmerized I sit with eyes closed, meandering thoughts
lost in the language of the surf – a presence greater than I
the twinkling shimmering silver on the ocean’s surface a shifting changing wonder
an ever present reminder that
my ails is but a speck in this universe
no planets revolve around me

Two phrase stories
Prompt: “….and in a puff….”
“…and in a puff, all logic went out the window.”
For hbhatnager
I am trying this for the first time. A challenge posted over at hbhanager.wordpress.com
Stop over for further reading on the prompt, quite an interesting premise, could be fun:) It’s called a two phrase story. The prompt phrase for this week is “…and in a puff…” to be completed however you’d like.
