Here is a black and white breakwater photo I took in the Bahamas, off Great Abaco. These man-made structures are designed to mimic the appearance of shoals, but their job is to protect the coast from high-energy waves and storms. The pitted rocks stretch diagonally across the sea, from right to left, like a bridge over calm waves. The sky is strewn with a delicate mixture of clouds; my favorite being the wispy cirrus in the upper right that looks like a fishbone or a feathery arrow. Between the rugged rocks and soft sky, the ocean appears wrinkly, almost silken, leading to a distant line of shore. The tinest sailboat drifts on the right, facing left.

Standing before this clutch of serenity, I couldn’t help but wonder: what stories does each rock hold? Every dip, crack, and dent becomes a word. From all angles, different pages emerge. Yet, all we can read is on the surface. What dwells deeper within or beneath the tides? An ocean of libraries. These thoughts inspired another haiku in my travel journal.

This is a macro nature photo I took of the Hellebore buds in our front yard. I planted them last year, and their displays of hardiness do not disappoint! It’s one of my favorite winter-blooming flowers. Deep forest green leaves rimmed in aubergine and violet, cradle two dark magenta buds. The largest bud faces right. Tipped upward, its outer petals catch light, revealing stomata flecks patterned like an unopened galaxy. The flower and leaves soften into a dark purple and pink background bokeh.

Like many beautiful creatures found in nature, it is important to note that Hellebore is poisonous (it contains glycosides and saponins). I wear gloves while pruning because they’re so feisty.

Hellebore’s tenebrous allure inspired my latest haiku:

mountain creek thaws
the poison garden
stirs itself

This is a macro nature photo I took of a red hibiscus with golden anthers. The crimson background petals create a velvety bokeh which makes the globular anthers pop like tobiko roe. Red and gold always makes me think of the approaching new year. In the Caribbean, these gorgeous flowers bloom throughout every season. While it’s cold outside, I often think of spring. Going through my flower gallery, I found this photo and haiku pairing to share today.

✨️🌬🌴🌊🌴🌬✨️ apogee of gentle wind s a t i n t i d e s #BlueSkyArtShow #FavoriteThings #EastCoastKin #vss365 Apogee #haiku #俳句 #Freeverse #Poetry #Micropoetry #Photography #Nature #Wolftwin #Beach #StJohn

This is a photo I took overlooking St. John’s Trunk Bay—one of my favorite places. In the off season, it becomes so quiet and even more beautiful. Before the trade winds pick up, the breeze feels like a sweet caress mimicked by the tides. The bay cups a blue gradient from clear aquamarine to deep indigo. Tropical green trees, distant mountains, and companion islands frame the small stretch of perfect powder-soft sand. The blue sky above holds fluffy clouds—the slow kind that morph into fairytale creatures. It’s one of the few places I actively miss and dream about. I found a piece of myself on this tiny island, under a Jumbie Tree.

I look at this photo on dreary days. My new haiku sums up how it feels to stand in St. John’s soft waves.

apogee
of gentle wind
satin tides

Gentle wind is a local autumn kigo, as the trade winds slacken between summer and their winter peak.

This is a landscape nature photo that I took after it snowed. A curved line of snow-covered trees follow the icy road winding up a frosted hill. The cerulean sky above creates a dazzling contrast as it fades into the white distance. To the right, trees cast their cobalt shadow across a bright snow bank. Despite the cold, I couldn't help but feel comforted, and standing amid its frigid beauty, my blue heart warmed. Dedicated to Winter's first gift of the season, here is my latest haiku:

This is a macro photo I took at dusk of our last summer peony. Soft pink layers of outer petals curve in and out of light and shadows. Fine points of focus create crisp edges that stand out amid the dominant bokeh. The way peonys slowly open, reminds me that it's okay not to rush. Our story isn't a race, it's an epic saga. This thought and image inspired my latest free verse haiku:

✨️☁️💙☁️✨️ clouds tangle gazing up I like being small #BlueSkyArtShow #Small #EastCoastKin #WildWalkPrompt Tangle #haiku #俳句 #Freeverse #Poetry #Micropoetry #Photography #clouds

This is a photo I took of cirrus clouds and altocumulus clouds over a blue sky. Their wispy streaks feel like brush strokes behind rounded taps of sheer paint. You can feel the wind pulling this scene from left to right.

As a child, adults and children bullied me for being different. My autoimmune disorder didn’t help the situation, because it kept me small, and we all know size is a shallow mind’s favorite joke. I used to wish that I would grow big like an elephant, and then I’d be impervious. Half-pint, shrimp, small fry, munchkin, baby doll, Polly Pocket, mouse, and the list goes on. But this is not my sad story. In fact, it’s another reason I love clouds. They have always made me feel happy, despite my size, or any size, beneath them . . . we’re all small. Inspired by our fluffy friends above, here's my latest free verse haiku:

clouds tangle
gazing up I like
being small

Not sure what this is kind of a #freeverse #poem with commentary.

It’s autobiographical and fundamentally a #Christian message

Though are some brutal and kinda gross stuff in the poem

So tw for body functions and starvation

#metapoetry #freeverse #sonnet

watching a game
where people are cheering
but both teams are cheating

not sure what this is
but it's not prose

and calling it poetry
would be a stretch

neither my life
nor my nature

fits in
those binaries
