one voice
a thousand colors
come together

A wall of words, color, and voices. A place where people from all over the world converge to leave their mark, have their say, and be part of something bigger than themselves. While this is just a wall of splattered paint, there is something immensely powerful and human about this place. It stands as a reminder that we all matter and deserve to be heard.
Words: haiku, c.b.w. 2019
a moment
with da Vinci
low whispers

I.
the first cold wind
spots of red maple
a season ends
II.
falling rain
each drop finds
its end — splash
III.
spring’s fresh green
reaches every tree
but one

I.
flitting about
no plan in place
dragonflies and bees
II.
rain caught
in shifting gales
scatters in moonlight

Part of the 2016 April Poem A Day Challenge (via Poetic Asides on Writer’s Digest) for the April 29 prompt: haphazard
I.
spring’s warm touch
a long to-do list
doesn’t matter
II.
without their graceful
fall winter might
miss its cue
