this bustling marketplace is a blend of stores, stalls and vendors
food and music is everywhere
clouds of smoke from barbecue wafts, spices are very pronounced!
flavors from my childhood linger in every corner
pressing forward, I was happy to wander back in time

Quadrille #201: Poems of Place
In my garden these two bushes are entwined. They are trying to out muscle each other. Both are taller than me! The scent coming from this corner of the garden though, is heavenly!

our friday night hideaway
a table for two
that jazz quartet
that voice –
meandering, lamenting the blues
the hills, the valleys
soulful notes
mournful notes riding the bass
the story of a life – in and out of the blues
at our friday night hideaway

This was for quadrille night but I didn’t finish it. So I’m sharing it here on OLN being hosted by Grace over at dVerse.

flirty tendrils of the willow
frolick in the spring breeze –
a delightful fling

A still life. This was from my garden in April, 2020. A Chinese lantern plant that had come through that winter with a new look.

This is what it looked like before falling into the arms of winter.
autumn reflection –
a time for letting go
and opening the door
to what comes next
soon, there will be spring

a late flourish
as dusk reclaims its time –
summer wanes

This flower is peeking over my fence from my neighbor’s yard. I keep thinking it’s a pumpkin because of how aggressively it roams. But when it bears its kinda pear shaped, a huge pear. And the leaves are huge! I must ask her.
where nature roams -beauty follows
