Have a fun look: A comment becomes a conversation that becomes a post. Yousei Hime of the Shiteki Na Usagi blog found interest in an idea as a result of an alternate poetic ground comment here. After posting National Poetry Month — An Unexpected Poetry Idea the comments and ideas again began to flow. The leaf works in that post are works from 2007 that I updated for that post.
Saturday I was off island (a term here that usually means on an island other than where you live – although it can mean going to the mainland too). I spotted plenty of Signature (or Autograph) Trees. Most of them had been pruned high so the leaves were not reachable. I did find one low enough that I could pluck a leaf – which means more leaves will grow there. Later when I got back to my studio, I wrote on it and then worked the result into this post. Fun. aloha.

Last night the moon was nearly full and golden in a slightly darkening blue sky.
Following the moon night after night I am amazed by how many different ways it can look in the sky. Yet when I stop to watch it for a while, or for an hour or more, on any one night – wow, how still and present it looks in that moment, as if it is quite capable of holding that one long extended note endlessly. With ease such solid and timeless presence, the moon.
More moon to explore again tonight, again and wow again too.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Through; Haibun ~ Shadow Speak
Shadow Speak
night filter.
through my eyes
shadow lingers. beyond the light
shadow sounds. movement fading
into darkness. drifting through this silence
I become still, listening; the rustle of leaves,
a cricket begins, the distant barking of a dog.
so still this timeless light. deepening
into sleep I dream.
so far away
the ancient night
through leaves

Several years ago I found a number of bones at the edge of the sea among the rocks. This is one of them. It’s about 9 inches by 7 inches. It is not a shape I typically think of when I think of bones – or even fish bones, yet it is undeniably bone. I find it – Unusual.
