Naked tree branches
Click and clack, sway with a chill
Winter’s icy wind.

Found Poetry February 6, 2016
Warm and inviting
Knowing that this is my place,
What I’ve created.
Art Prescription: Spent most of my day at the farm riding Finn. Went with found poetry for my haiku and art…a little random print from a magazine. Try it! Just open up to any page and see what words jump out at you.

Like spaghetti strands
Horses eat steady supply
Of hay to keep warm.

Dignity February 4, 2016
Dry brittle beauty
Contains dignity in form
Remains of summer.
Art Prescription: Whew!! busy day. Up before the sun, went to feed/love on neighbor’s cat, fed my three, off to work, three surgeries, off to farm to do evening chores, 4 1/4 bales of hay and 4 clean troughs later, back home to feed/love neighbor’s kitty and my three, shower…not much time for art, except a quick sketch. Happy to have horses and cats in my life!!
