over a calm harbor as
storm winds buffet.

PROMPT: Time of Day

What’s your favorite time of day?

Mornings. I’m a lark. It’s when I’m at my highest energy level.

“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.
