FBC 2020 Challenge #1

baby’s breath at dawn
rustles hair and newborn leaves
rouse in spring’s soft breeze

The Gift

She wrapped her scarf and sighed visibly in the morning air.

On the recurring drive, she replayed the first visit. Tubes, wires, alerts of all kinds overwhelmed them.

The season closed with a new beginning; baby is finally coming home.

– Written for YeahWrite Microprose Challenge #434. Prompt was to tell a story in exactly 40 words that evokes a specific season without using the names for that season.

thunder’s angry tone
pitched against a murky sky
April showers flow

the narrow branch sways,
under wind and melting snow
we are spring-minded

chaotically
white tufts drift on the wild wind
spring patiently waits

Sunday Trees #321 010718 & Haiku

thoughts of warm days and
verdant trees fuel fortitude
on a frosty night

Seasons

Seasons come and go
Downpours of rain, then ice and snow
Sunshiney days and a cool evening breeze
Budding flowers and leaves falling from trees
Time passes on while nature puts on a show
