Equinox
Today is Haibun Monday at dVerse Poets Pub and Frank Tassone inspires us to write about the equinox using the Haibun form. Equinox The sun bursts through the clouds when I’m looking for shade. Sweat drips down my jawline when all I want is to wrap myself in my new comfy sweatshirt. Autumn fell soContinue reading “Equinox”
Summer Solstice Safari
Today is Haibun Monday at dVerse Poets Pub and Frank Tassone has challenged us to write a Solstice haibun. Summer Solstice Safari It’s hard to believe solstice is this week. The longest day of a summer that’s turtling—pokes its head out early, then hides, emerges then hides again. For the event it is supposed toContinue reading “Summer Solstice Safari”
The Final Week or Only the Beginning
Today I’m beginning the final week of my portable MFA in poetry. As I read the instructions, she says that after this week I can go back to the beginning and start again. I have to admit, that hadn’t crossed my mind, but sitting here looking at the final week of this two month experience,Continue reading “The Final Week or Only the Beginning”
Spring Has Sprung
April is coming very soon. It’s a busy month here at Experience Writing because it’s National Poetry Writing Month (NaPoWriMo), and the A-Z blogging challenge.

HowContinue reading “Spring Has Sprung”

Celebrating Play and Treats
As you can see, the snow is gone. I know I said I wasn’t going to publish all my word pictures here, but I wanted to show the result without the snow, and then I did some playing indoors. New Poem The dVerse Poets Pub is open after a two week vacation and today LisaContinue reading “Celebrating Play and Treats”
The Cherry Blossoms Starting to Fall
Today is Haibun Monday at dVerse Poets Pub and I found the cherry blossoms prompt timely. I went out to admire the cherry-plum trees in bloom and noticed the grass is already littered with pink. I’m glad Frank inspired me to spend some time admiring the pink against the sky before it is gone. EmergingContinue reading “The Cherry Blossoms Starting to Fall”
#Writober Day 20: Mountains or Oceans
#OctPoWriMo Today’s OctPoWriMo theme is Mountains or Oceans. This was the second prompt I wrote for OctPoWriMo and I chose Haibun for the form. The call of the seagull The gull, a dark speck on the white mountain backdrop, reminds me how close I am to the ocean by wing. If I could rise above,Continue reading “#Writober Day 20: Mountains or Oceans”
