Due to some technical issues with this blog, for this week, I am moving my Poetry Friday Post to my new author page. Please visit there. I think you’ll have to use the contact tab to leave a comment. I hope to have all these blog issues straightened out by July. Thanks for your patience….
Silent Sunday returns for 2026. What is Silent Sunday? Years ago, I posted only photographs from my archives once a week on Sunday. While these photos are captioned, there is no other text; just beautiful scenes to look at. I decided to bring Silent Sunday back because I miss posting my photos, and it was…
Silent Sunday was a post I did for several years on this blog, which was a photo from my archives that I selected and posted on Sundays. I did not write text or explain the photo in any way. It was one of my most popular regular posts for many years. Since moving over to…

We’ve seen some beautiful ones in Hawaii, Colorado, and Minnesota. The word for today’s poetry prompt is cascade. The haiku came easily today; I am awash in emotion. Note: I…
I’ve been inspired to participate in a daily poetic activity this month by other poets I know! It might be tough at times to follow through as I still have periods of tiredness caused by sleepless nights. Like last night, I didn’t get to sleep until after 3 a.m. despite going to bed by 11…
