swim across the still pond —

Enchanted

published every day
this experience of place.

Life's Enchanted

Every time a scene is
successfully ‘shot’
I have a chance to tell you.

. . . . . . . . .

I couldn't pass up the OED word of the day: it is 'daily,' like the blog.

march weather

late march weather
changing
every five minutes —
my clothes still drying

. . . . . . . . .

The last line of the poem changed on the way home.

spring symphony

The symphony of Spring!
when Yellow-flowered
Poems sing for pleasure

. . . . . . . . .

The OED word of the day for the erasure poem is the British harbinger of spring: 'cuckoo.'

never ordinary

Love Like Art, joyful
and never ordinary
paint What you Will

It was, I hear,
a party for the rebellious.

. . . . . . . . .

The OED word of the day for this erasure poem is 'party.'

spring embrace

spring —
the flowing creek
embraces the rocks

sun day

drawing people —
the spring sunshine

. . . . . . . . .

Today's entry is dedicated to the Bellingham school prinicpal who canceled classes for a "sun day" this morning.

mistaken identity

a flash of yellow —
the spring blossoms turn out
to be a bulldozer

wearin' o' the green (cont'd)

the forest has yet
to turn the calendar page
from St. Patrick's Day

raindrop glue

made with raindrop glue
an accidental collage —
cherry blossoms

. . . . . . . .

The Seattle chapter of Urban Sketchers met at the UW Quad to sketch the cherry blossoms. Though it's hard to tell on this small one, on the larger image on the USk site you can see both the real cherry blossoms that the showers and wind cemented to my sketch (and covered me and the palette) and the bride down at the end of the walkway, taking a photogenic walk with her groom.
