Release
For TJ’s challenge this week, I have reblogged a photo which I feel depicts chaos and order working hand and hand…
an ordered release
rains celebration chaos
upon bride and groomBy Sarah ©2017
Prompt: TJ’s Household Haiku, 13 August 2017 – chaos and order
Image By Sarah ©
This photo is a contradiction of itself. Portraying both order and chaos – the order of everyone releasing their confetti at the same time while conversely, creating chaos with this same release.
I love this photo which was taken at a friend’s wedding in 2012.
Prompt: Weekly Photo Challenge, Task: Share an image that sends chaos packing (neatly).
Chance Encounter
a chance encounter;
your perfume is telling me,
“It’s time to get lost!”

Prompt: TJ’s Household Haiku, Words – perfume and lost
Looking At Leaves
A trio of Haiku for this week’s challenge from TJ. Enjoy!

The last leaves crumble.
Days grow longer; warmth returns.
It’s looking like Spring.

Looking at the world
from a leafy bird’s eye view.
I may catch them yet!

This year I’m looking
to turn over a new leaf
…it’s long overdue.

My Fill
in depth of darkness
I emerge…sucking…gorging
’til I’ve had my fill

The Lot
Image credit TJ Paris
my love loves flowers.
nothing brings her so much joy
as their sweet perfume.
a lippy tulip,
roses of red, pink, yellow,
purple hued violets,
sunny gerberas,
delicate gypsophila,
perfect proteas,
cheeky daffodils,
full rainbows of carnations,
sassy snapdragons,
queenly hydrangas,
a daisy just makes her day.
to market I went
to buy her bouquet.
I just couldn’t decide so
I bought the whole lot!
Prompt: TJ’s Household Haiku, Words: perfume, joy
Hidden Thorns
