In addition to the two poems that I wrote for this week’s Ronovan Writes Haiku Weekly Poetry Challenge (see my Quilted Poetry post of Monday, 6 July 2020: Stargazing), I found myself wanting to write a few more poems this morning during my 1-hour weekday “mandatory” writing time.
No photographs for these, but I may dig around for a Painted Lady butterfly in my archives, since we had two or three summers of a larger-than-usual population of them, here in the Red River Valley.
as evening’s lights dim
the mind drifts from thoughts to dreams
restless ripples gonesleep in night’s gentle waters
cradled in sea lullabies

clover in the grass
a painted lady settles…

time almost never
matches with the goals at hand…
hurry? more rewrites?would that time were elastic
or my planning more precise
