ABC Wednesday has arrived at the letter K. Thank you, Denise Nesbitt!
sings a song of silliness
mischief is his love
When a granddaughter and I visited Arizona, Kokopelli caught her fancy. She's partial to southwest jewelry, gems and folklore so I wasn't surprised when a Kokopelli tat appeared on her inner ankle. If only I weren't scared of needles...

lightning
strikes at tall pines
...red sun

spring retreats
ancient forest ignites
...false clouds

truthiness
hidden in fervor
felled by smoke

I think I see a skull in there. Do you?

Totally Optional Prompts offers: The Spring equinox (N. Hemisphere) has just passed, so it's now officially spring in the US. I declared spring a number of weeks ago, though, when we had our first balmy day. How do you mark the change into spring, or into any other season? Do the equinoxes and solstices anchor your calendar, or do you go by the weather?

spring, they say

down slippers on frosty feet

Sometime Spring is an original watercolor by Sue.

ThomG, moderator of Three Word Wednesday offers the following words for today's prompt: earnest, reactive, layer. Follow the links to play along or to read what others wrote.
As soon as the grenade exploded in the henhouse, Earnest knew he'd been totally reactive. Red Mollie had always been his best layer.
The fractal was created in the Mandala program.

One Single Impression prompt 56: Thanks to KiteHorse, who recommends "equals" as this week's prompt. March 20 was the vernal equinox, when day and night were the same length.

sameness

Sunday Scribblings prompts: Where did you start? Where do you start? How did it all begin? Where do you stand right now?
a tell-tale graph
not the Akashic book
reveals a lackluster line
the tell-tale graph
rises from the first scene
shudders past the peak
a tell-tale graph
with lines of new and not
dots of bleached parts
the tell-tale graph
a block buster outline
with the plot left out
the tell-tale graph
lines drawn in sand til
the end falls off the chart
The fractal image was created in Apophysis.
a flannel shirt
striped black and white
fine lines planned
nothing left to chance
seasonally stored
behind soft colors
that fabricate
unsure thoughts
sapped by doubt
she slides into
the black and white
decides not to stray
Random Haiku

ubiquitous hats
burden heads of the ersatz
defy natural
**
devoid of burden
natural indulgences
...ubiquitous dream
**
burden of the glam
ubiquitous black dress
fails the natural
**
cowboys' burden
ubiquitous black hat
natural style

Cajole. Sara disliked that word. The implication was that she could be cozied into performing chores for the penurious recluse without losing her temper. No. She didn't like it at all. But that didn't bother him.

Thanks to ThomG for posting cajole, recluse, temper for Three Word Wednesday. Thanks, too, for an energetic and growing meme...

Lilacs and Love
scent of lilacs
zephyr borne
calls me home
near the back step
the fragile bush
blossoms sweet
fragrant as spring
fresh and warm
as parents’ love

Sunday Scribblings offers this prompt: What pressing matter do you have weighing on your mind? What would you like to say to someone? What would you like to say to the world? Or to yourself? What do you think is important enough to make people listen? What would make you say, "Listen up because this is important?"
This came up again today and seems to be something I want to say... I'll no doubt have something else in an hour or so. :)
I love receiving e-mails, but where are we headed when much of the population is educated by rumor or knee-jerk opinion?
Please don't forward chain e-mails that purport lies to be truth. If you haven't the energy to let Snopes or other reliable sources investigate for you, just delete the fool things.
And, when forwarding an e-mail to 35 people, hiding them behind bcc (blind carbon copy) makes it a little tougher for scammer-spammers to harvest your closest friends' addresses.
There. I said it and I'm glad.
And, I love you! No matter what.

not sure where it is
but I'm almost there
with a twist and a turn
I stumble and yearn
sure I'm getting there
I'll know when I'm there
I'll feel it in the air
but maybe I'll get
to the wrong spot ~
not at the place I want
I guess I'll just stay
right here where I am ~
pretend I got here by plan
