March lion spits ice

Daffodils hang their heads low

With disappointment.

Art Prescription: Seems March’s lion is having a final roar!! Snow and sleet. And still I walk and look at what nature has to offer. Nodding daffodils…

Sleet bounces off coat

Leaves shiver, abrasive wind

Early spring betrayed.

Art Prescription: Sleeting again in NC…on March 6th! Wildflowers are trying to bloom!

Through binoculars

I sight movement in the trees

Hawk at my shoulder!!

Art Prescription: Today’s haiku is momentarily interrupted for a near hawk encounter. I was writing about Mourning Doves…when through my binoculars I caught a glimpse of something in the trees. I searched, but no find. Turned to walk and right there!!! over my left shoulder sat a big hawk. He/she looked at me and I startled…I mean really jumped it was that close! Then I just got quiet and watched. I wondered why this winged beauty was braving my presence. The hawk took off then to join a mate…

Perched in a pine bough

She turns and looks straight at me

February owl.

Art Prescription: On my evening walk I saw a hawk-shaped silhouette. Imagine my surprise and joy when I zoomed in with my binoculars and saw it to be a young owl. Owl medicine…

One act of kindness

The stray cat finds heated house

To know she is warm.

Art Prescription: Seeing one of the cats who are roaming in this cold weather cuddled up in the cat house, gives me a sense of peace.

Weather forecast, snow

All day I look to the sky

Excuse for milk, bread?

Art Prescription: Okay, so I might wake up to a sea of white, but right now…I don’t see any snow!!! Since early morning the forecast for a winter storm has been all over television, radio, and Facebook. I did go to the grocery store for stamps, and they were out! Schools cancelled today. Many businesses closed early. Curious. Warm in my studio where I painted love birds.
