Bird choir sings, all rise
Sun’s entourage, glowing pink
Fog escapes my lips.
Art Prescription: Beautiful sunrise as I went out to feed birds! A luxurious moment!

Down on the Farm December 18, 2013
Down on the horse farm
Fresh air and work and horse pets
Body works, mind rests.
Art Prescription: Went out to the farm today to work…farm work…get dirty, use your muscles, wear high boots work!! And I loved it. Reward…grooming a couple of dirty winter coats, and taking in the senses that is a farm!!
Haiku July 9, 2013 Loneliness
Loneliness is not
Being only flower bud
But failure to bloom.
Art Prescription: The garden is ripe with buds and blooms and it occurs to me that to make a garden whole it takes many elements. The rain, the sun, the soil, birds, bees, and the instinctual element of life growing on despite any adversary. A tree fallen by a storm, will only grow upward with new branches. We humans get so attached to this one short life we live. If you relish in nature’s messages, you will be at peace with the whole. Four winds, Bev
Haiku July 5, 2013 Sexy Nature
Virginia creeps
Wraps her young tendrils around
Lazy summer stretch.
Art Prescription: Go out into the garden and see what story is waiting for you there.
Haiku July 2, 2013 Jazz Band
In the summer marsh
The centipede plays rhythm
Frogs sing harmony!
Art Prescription: With all the rain we have had, most creeks and wetlands are abundant with creatures. The sounds of nature amuse me! There is a story in each moment.
Haiku June 17, 2013 Sturdy Construction
Nestled on branches
Stands test of wind and rain, proof
Sturdy construction.
Art Prescription: We have been watching a robin’s nest for a couple of weeks. When recent thunderstorms ripped through here, I worried about the nest. Proof of the builder’s determination, the nest sits strong and steady! Amazing!
Haiku May 4, 2013 Spring Trees
Wind rolls through the trees
Branches wave about with grace
Leaves whisper and stir.
Art Prescription: Spent much of my day at Mason Farm Biological Preserve! Heard “my” owls, but they were hiding. The beautiful lush green trees are like emeralds in the sky.
Haiku May 1, 2013 Bird Song
Bird song vibrates air.
In the tops of trees they sing
Tenderness abounds.
Art Prescription: So sweet to see the male birds bringing the female a snack, as if to say, “See I can provide.” And with her approval they find a perfect spot to nest. He secures the property, and she takes over from there, nesting to her own taste. “Pine-straw is so last year.” He stands guard while she shops for things to feather their nest. There will be some eggs out of this!!
Haiku April 30, 2013 Come and Gone
Another April!
Blue roses sparkle dreamy
Garden filled with hopes!
Art Prescription: “To live is so startling, it leaves little time for anything else.” …….Emily Dickinson
This is the way I feel looking at a meadow of wildflowers and not being able to draw each and every one!!
Haiku April 26, 2013 Dragonflies
Buzzy things with wings
Fill the air showing off their
Aerodynamics!
Art Prescription: As the weather warms there’s a lot more action in the air. Birds, bees, butterflies, and dragonflies! Here in North Carolina we have several different species of dragonflies…it’s fun to try and identify them. And oh yea, there’s the damselfly too!
