Daily Prompt – Stubborn

Wedged tightly
between rocks
with precious little soil
and marginal sun,
this wildflower
stubbornly holds on,
continuing
to bloom
despite adversity.

Daily Prompt – Praise

August 5, 2016sandyjwhite About Life, Daily Prompt, Insight, Words 3 Comments

Praise
Which is
Ill-timed
(Coming
Prematurely
Or too far
After the fact)
OR
Poorly conceived
(Not in tune
With
A person’s
Uniqueness)
Is worse than
No praise
At all.
‘When and how’
Make praise
Pertinent
And
Powerful.

Daily Prompt – Guest

For just a few days
in early fall
this hummingbird
was a guest
at our nectar feeder
as it winged its way
south for the winter.
We look forward to
their stopover each year.

The jagged edges
of ice
breaking up
on an area lake
in the spring
bring to mind
a shattered mirror.

Daily Prompt – Autonomy

July 4, 2016sandyjwhite About Life, Daily Prompt, Insight, Nature 2 Comments

Independence
Is but a
Pipe dream…
A figment of
Mankind’s
Imagination.
One way
Or another
All living things
Are
Interdependent.

Lake Vallecito near Durango, CO a decade ago. I’m certain these hilltops are green again.

So Hot
The flames
Do
Scorch
The earth
All
Part of
Mother Nature’s
Plan
For rebirth

Cast across the sky above
Sketched by Hand with care and love
Wispy, fluffy, black and mean
Vaporous artistry is seen
Quick, before there’s time to think
It morphs again in but a wink
