For Carpe Diem Haiku ~ 'prompt' ~ embers and Creative Everyday
We are creating something everyday whether it is a photo, a haiku or sketches and paintings. There seems to be a need for my spirit to create and when my 'muse' is working it fills my soul with love. I am not compulsive enough sometimes and on 'grey' days would much prefer to read a 'good book' and let the world go by. Ever have one of 'those days'?
Today we are sharing with these creative bloggers:
I've had grey days before, too. Sometimes it's hard to be creative, so I usually let myself have down time then get back on it the next day. Breaks are good sometimes :)
The poem is very nice - we seem to look at the embers as dying while forgetting that it was very much life affirming and alve. So much so that it kept us warm for quite awhile...Santa looks very relaxed, as if he is unwinding from a very hectic Christmas past. Great post!
Hope you've bundled up nicely. Moody atmosphere from the first photo. :D Nice RRT pic post, he's yet to be stowed for safe keeping? Love the haiku, I always get pains trying my hand in writing a haiku back in high school. lolz.
I think the foggy scenes look beautiful. But, I am always happy to see the sun come out. Reading a good book sounds like a great idea. Have a happy week!
Some beautiful, enigmatic foggy scenes in your collage! Adore the quizzical expression on the little Santa's face! And love the idea of "embers recycling" in your haiku!
Love the shots of your foggy day,,,reminds me of home,,, your haiku is lovely too "embers recycling" I like the idea of that somehow,,,,as warmth returning,,,
