TIME TO CELEBRATE POETRY!
My Plan: “I’m exploring the aesthetic of wabi-sabi, sometimes described as one that is “imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete” in nature. I think walking out in nature this past year gave me the joy needed to keep going, so I’ve gathered photos taken since March 2020 for inspiration in composing haigas, sometimes other forms.”
I thank our Earth for many joys this year. Happy Earth Day!
We had snow again this week, and the day then became sunny. Though fairly cold, icicles began forming and dripping. On a walk, my granddaughter Imogene and I noticed more and more. It was nature's art just for us!
That icicle looks like a woman-sitting-sculpture, it's beautiful, great pic too! I like your "sunshine melting snow" hope it keeps melting the snow away. I see lots of green in the background, spring must be there—thanks Linda.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo! I love being allowed peeks at your relationship with your grandaughters. So much fun finding icicles together, I'm sure. I just wrote a recommendation for a friend looking to work in an ES in Denver. What a lucky school that will be if they are hired. I will tell my friend to look for icicles in the sunshine too.
ReplyDeleteYour grandaughter I'm sure loved searching for icicles from the melted snow. I enjoyed your haiku and photo about that adventure.
ReplyDeleteLove this!! Great photo -- you had your own ice sculpture show.
ReplyDeleteWonderful how your photo focuses on your granddaughter's hands, Linda. The sun and snow in your poem make me think of Colorado.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to search for interesting icicles. (Margaret Simon)
ReplyDeleteYOu have certainly had your share of late-season snow! Your granddaughters are so lucky to have so many adventures with you!
ReplyDeleteAw, beautiful! This photo-haiku pairing warms my heart, Linda.
ReplyDeleteLinda, I read your post earlier today and really was surprised to see the giant icicle. It looks like April Fools can be played throughout April in Denver.
ReplyDeleteAt this point in April don't you just want to say 'bye-cicle' to the icicles, Linda? You seem like the best grandma. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely time with your granddaughter! <3
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool! I love the idea of Imogene and you walking and enjoying the art gallery all around you. xo
ReplyDeleteI hope those icicles are melted by now. What a good way to spend time with family!
ReplyDeleteOh, this weather! At least you got some fun and a poem out of it!
ReplyDeleteI'm personally sorry to see snow in April, so late! but to watch icicles form before your eyes--how fun to share with Imogene.
ReplyDeleteOooh, that's a great icicle! I haven't been on an icicle hunt for years. :) The ups and downs of this spring weather are worth it. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely poem celebrating not only nature, but the enjoyment of it with family!
ReplyDeleteHow lucky you are to be able to see your grandgirls so often! I love this haiku and those icicle sculptures.
