“Snowflakes” (45) by Emily Dickinson [w/ Audio]

I counted till they danced so
Their slippers leaped the town --
And then I took a pencil
To note the rebels down --
And then they grew so jolly
I did resign the prig --
And ten of my once stately toes
Are marshalled for a jig!

Stone Ghost [Haiku]

the clouds retreat,
revealing hilltop ruins:
a ghost in stone.

Staggering [Haiku]

hill slope trees
like staggering figures:
soon swallowed in fog.

PROMPT: Excited

Tell us about the last thing you got excited about.

Going for a walk this morning. (I’m like a dog that way…. except I don’t pee during my walks… usually.)

Monsoon Break [Haiku]

after many days 
of dreary clouds & rain:
blue skies!

Trick of Light [Haiku]

in summer sun,
some evergreens look frosted,
as if snow-laden.
