SOL 6/31 & Poetry Friday: Fifteen Years Ago

A recent prompt from my writing group asked us to look at our camera roll from ten years ago and select a photo as a writing prompt. I decided to use this idea beginning with my first year of participating in the slice of life writing challenge in 2012 and limiting the photo choice to March of that year. Today's post does double duty with a haiku for Poetry Friday. Thanks to Karen for hosting and for her poem, "One Way to Live".

 

Rain kissed daffodils

Ebullient dancers of spring 

Harbingers of hope 

Thank you, Two Writing Teachers, for creating this challenge and providing the space and support for us year after year. And thanks to this magnificent community for sharing stories with me and encouraging my writing life.

  1. I can’t wait for the first blooms of spring. We haven’t even seen snowdrops yet. Your haiku is like more than a hope, it’s a promise for the spring to arrive. Terje

  3. Daffodils are such a welcome sign of spring. When I went out for the mail yesterday, I noticed that ours were up about an inch. Can't wait until they bloom. Bob
