Childhood Joy

singin' in the rain--Haiku
Original Poetry and Photograph by Leona J. Atkinson ©2016

As I was hurrying through the dark parking lot to go into the grocery store, I pulled my coat tight around me as it was chilly and rainy.  All of a sudden a bright warm feeling entered my heart.  There in the midst of it all I heard the sweet voice of a little child singing.  Seemingly unaware of the weather, she waited patiently for her mom to load groceries into the car, as she sang a little melody all her own. 🙂  I had to smile.  A good reminder to be joyful in all circumstances! 🙂

Liquid Art

“Liquid Art”
Original Photograph by Leona J. Atkinson

Rain
Falling
Forms patterns
On my windshield
Droplet diamonds
Dotted aqua circles
Spheres creating a maze on glass
Misty pearl like aqueous scene
Continually changing liquid web
Instantly swept away as wipers do their job

Winter’s Snowfall

snowflakes
Snow!

So white!
Lightly falling
On the meadow,
Covering the walkway.
Children excitedly shout
“Snow Day!” as schools choose to close.
Traffic slowly moves on the highway.
It’s amazing how snow changes our lives,
And it’s just tiny snowflakes stuck together!
