when a blanket and hot coffee
supplement the joy#haiku pic.twitter.com/PzsgSmoZc8

so this is Sunday...

so this is Sunday
when silken ripples in my life
are tidal flashbacks#haiku

surreal memories...

 

Slowly I am wandering the wilderness of old photos...including the many surreal ones I created...

So many special beauties have paused my journeys in life...

I want to keep them uppermost in these, my later years...

Yes...I have many sadnesses and even tragedies...

I have ongoing negative attacks from a family member...

But I don't want to sink into losing control...

That is not my way...

I must just up the energy to find even more beauties and be grateful...

a cold city river
autumn colours lift
clustered monochromes#haiku

some feathered creatures...

some feathered creatures
twist cumbersome shapes
into cumbersome poses
and yet secure
the magic of elegance#tanka

personal struggle with no answer...

It happens outside this site too, Anne. I am a 75 year old ex secondary English/History teacher-retired. I began my retirement in hospital. Getting back to living has been a battle. My son-in-law demeans/makes fun of me constantly, often in front of his children. So far I'm calm.
