Minutes flew by
Busy hands and minds collab
Creating art with grand-daughter
Senryu
Even though outside it was another cloudy, chilly, rainy day, inside my craft room it was sunny, warm and cheerful!
My grand-daughter came over this afternoon to participate in another art collaboration project with me and we had so much fun sharing ideas, chatting and creating. She inspired me, as I did her and we both ended up with projects we were really happy with!
Fun day!
In art or in life,
I want to be a day brightener,
Make people smile.
Even if I don’t succeed,
I do have fun trying.
Tanka
Today I enjoyed myself as I created this art piece which I titled “Happy Mail”.
It is an art collaboration project that I and another artist did as part of the USPS Art Project, which is a project many artists across the USA are doing to help fund the struggling US Postal Service.
I think it turned out quite cheerful looking and is something I actually try to live out daily in my life as I interact with people I meet.
Neighbor
And I had a
Delightful walk today
Inspite of all the troubling news
We saw
Colorful flowers blooming and
Cheerful sidewalk art
On display in the
Sunshine
Butterfly Cinquain
“Coming soon” the signs say
Bits of color speak loud and clear
As I walk the dreary way
Coming soon” the signs say
Birds sing of a brighter day
Spring color will soon be here
“Coming soon” the signs say
Bits of color speak loud and clear
Triolet
What will this day bring?
Birds begin to sing,
What a cheerful sound!
Signs of Spring abound.
Daffodils in bloom,
Chase winter’s gloom.
Winter’s letting go,
My heart’s all aglow!
Syllabic Rhyme
Cheerful tiny blooms
A scattering of yellow
Birds plant flower seeds
Haiku
Not sure how these pretty little yellow blooms came to be here in my garden, as I didn’t plant them, perhaps the birds carried some seeds and dropped them here. I am not sure if they are weeds or flowers, but I am enjoying the sight of them as they add a bit of color to my otherwise non blooming garden area right now.
Poppy
Draped in crepe
Orange hued petals
Alive with fragility
Wind dances
Cinquain
Such a cheerful group
Heads up, looking to the sun
Ever Optimists
Haiku
Written in honor of the daisy plant I received this Mother’s Day.
Purple heads bobbing
Bellflowers in my garden spot
Cheerfully greet the sunshine
