Star-sparkle
For Linda Mitchell
august morning star
stirs hope and wonder,
spread her sparkle…

Can’t help thinking about Linda Mitchell when I see my morning glories with their beautiful star pattern…
Happy Poetry Friday!
Busy week, so I’ve been writing haikus when out on walks…
between coughs and
gossip nature waits, wind wafts
and critters scurry…
catalpa pods float
through flute-filled air, gracious they
wait with sky for fall.
august wind swept in
bouncing ball stopped by
bike wizzed– sorry…

Oh, my goodness! I saw that word star and my fingers clicked on it before I even knew what I was doing and then….THEN I just opened up onto this beautiful morning glory–with a command to spread my sparkle. What a fortunate lady you are to have these beauties right outside your door…and me? I’m the lucky one that you thought of me and shared with all of us. Mwah! Hugs to you! I’ll be back just to open up this page and get that lovely eyefull of morning glory again! Thanks so much!
Glad you found and are enjoying the morning ⭐️ they always fill me with joy, and thoughts of you…
A beautiful morning glory with its own haiku!
Dear Michelle, you are an august morning star. Thank you! xo
Thanks for sharing your own star morning glories & for Linda M., too. I guess we all think of her when seeing ‘stars’! I don’t have them but fondly remember ours when I was growing up, Michelle. I like your ‘capture’ haikus from the walks, like “between coughs and /gossip nature waits” – wonderful!
The morning glory photo takes my breath away! Love your haikus reminding me that nature waits. I’m less patient, I admit, as another week or dry heat reigns here. I know fall is around the corner…sigh. Many thanks!
Spectacular photo! Thanks for sharing your photos and haikus.
Gorgeous star-lit/starlet morning glories! Hope your husband is doing well.
Michelle, thank you for filling my nature-friendly mind with beautiful haikus. August has been a lovely month and now it is ready to introduce fall. In Cape May, I also saw a star that I photographed for Linda. Since I just came back from the trip, I have not penned anything for Linda yet but your star-sparkle word is so perfect for her that I may lift it.
What a stunning photo and lovely haiku to go with it. I love the idea of spreading the star-sparkle!
Oh, I see and hear and feel the sights and sounds of your walks, Michelle. So calming!
Those morning glories are stunning and I love how you connected them to stars and Linda M! I also enjoyed your collection of haikus and your determination to keep writing even when everything is busy. I’ll need to keep that in mind in the coming weeks!
