Haiku July 25, 2013 Freshman
Long trails of students
File together through campus
Tour of their future.
Art Prescription: Since my RN job is part of UNC, I’m around students every day. They are young and eager and have the world in front of them. Today while waiting for my bus home a large group passed by. I couldn’t help but look at them with a sense of envy and relief!! Can you imagine being a freshman again? Can you imagine being a freshman again!!

Haiku July 15, 2013 Horses
Warm velvet soft nose
Smell of fresh hay and cut grass
Afternoon horse barn.
Art Prescription: There is just something about being around horses. Their warm brown eyes and soft ears, majestic musculature, swishy tails, the smell of leather, and a historic relationship. We’ve long been bound to these creatures.

At times parts are lost.

Haiku July, 11, 2013 Steady Drizzle
Set out for a walk
Clouds gathered, distant rumble
Rain drops fall, I’m wet!!
Art Prescription: This time of year a walk in a steady drizzle can actually be refreshing. Then my neighbor’s dog took off running wild through the woods, freaked by the thunder. I went off after him, poison ivy and all! Like a deer he shot through the bramble. Luckily he and his owner are both safely home, not sure who is more shaken. For me, a warm shower and a glass of wine should do.
