Held afloat
You safely hover
Over a pebbled
Burbling stream,
As you reach
To touch
The shimmer
And delight
In your smile beams.

Nature
Itty Bitty Hugely Pretty
Photo: Amitai Asif
Tiny shoots of tender growth
Fill meadows’ hearts
With glorious froth.
The pastel blooms
Are itty bitty
But they sure are
Hugely pretty!

Outdoor Sunday
Photo prompt: © Dale Rogerson
“This is perfect,” Juliette leaned back onto her elbows and let the sound wash over her.
“Uhhumm…” Doug scraped mud off his pantleg. His fingers yearned for his phone but he had almost no battery left. He wondered for the hundredth time how long before they returned to the car.
Juliette smiled. She knew Doug found nature torturous. The quiet bored him. He disliked pebbles, creepy-crawlers, wind, and grass-stains.
She also knew her brother tolerated their periodical “Outdoor Sunday” just because he loved her … And because he understood better than anyone how much she’d lost when floods took the homestead.

Angels’ Winds
Photo: Karen Forte
The air pristine
On angels’ winds,
Unspoiled by what
Mans’ hands can bring.
In feathered clouds
And oceans’ swing,
It heralds surf
Of joy within,
To mark the waves
With dance that gleams,
And breathes along
A song to sing
For all that dreams.

Fall Friends

Side by side
They keep near
In the wind
In the rain.
Limb to limb
They hold hands,
Close company
They maintain.
Friends in all
Friends in fall.

Berry Byway
Photo: Amitai Asif
Bravely walk the briar byways
Brushed to either side by burrs
Each step bordered by the brambles
That await the birth of berries
And bar the fruit from brazen strays.

Three’s Company

Amid pebbles and sand
Atop tenacious pale greens
Three mouths unseal
In communal reveal
To welcome
Potential
Under an
Arid sun.

Beached Hopes
Photo: Atara Katz
In the soft curl of foam
In the rush of cool waves
She will beach
She will trench
And will lay
Out her hopes
That a future
Will come.

Water Rise

Water rises
Like ice
From warm oceans,
To mimic islands.
For the Wits End Weekend Photo Challenge: drops
(FWIW: The photo was taken on a phone, through a plastic screen, from a speedboat in full throttle while it bounced on the wake of another … It was fun. It was wild. Focus wasn’t to be had …)

High-Tail
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
Silver light danced on waves
Under skies of
Mercurial clouds,
And she pranced
On the sand
Tail up high
Free and proud.
(Note: No filter or editing was used on this photo. These were the true colors that day)
