Hello Carol! The seasons are changing and you've captured that so well in your pumpkin artwork! So lovely to see the schooners!
ReplyDeleteHope Marshall has been 'released'!!
Happy weekend!
Beautifully penned lively Haiku.
ReplyDelete"seasons guide his soul." If I were writing this I had chosen "nature" in the place of"season" but your write made me realise that you have used more appropriate and word.
Sounds like a wonderful weekend, Carol! Your Asian drawing and haiku is lovely! Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteI love the image of seasons guiding the soul!

ReplyDeletePoor Marshall...can't help but feel sorry for him stuck behind the fence. Lovely schooner pics!
ReplyDeleteThe Schooner races look awesome. Such wonderful ships. Poor Marshall looks repentent. Lovely Haiku, I like the pumpkins.
ReplyDeletei love your haiku deeply. here-as the garden is in full harvest glory, as the wind sings an autumn song; summer bows to fall. it is in the sowing of seeds, the tending, the gathering, the intimacy with earth and sky peace resides.
ReplyDeleteTo be here and then to get lost..wow... A long breath and it's so peaceful.. Thanks for the such a wonderful treat. RS
ReplyDeleteI just love your haiku and Asian style paintings. LOVE the punkins. Awww :) hee hee
