Ronovan Writes #Weekly #Haiku #Poetry Prompt #Challenge #300 Grit&Quit

photo taken in the early 2000s at an informal Unisys employee gathering
Pebbled Beach

simply walked away
from the troubles I had known
left them far behind
 
now I dream ‘neath summer clouds
counting pebbles on the shore

Friendly Strangers | Discover Prompts | Day 4

Looking Out Our Windows

 

 

who were those people
walking past my front windows
folks I’d never seen
trailing through the quiet streets
grownups, children, and their dogs

All-American Sport: Mud Wrestling

cocker spaniel puppies wrestling in the rain and mud, April 2016
Scampers in the Mud. No Joke!

setting out to play
in the midst of April’s rain
muddy paws and cold

hurry inside where it’s warm
towels, baths, warm food, and hugs
