Looking, not for gloom
I must seek the rising sun
Casting eyes upward
Knowing, I will find the light;
Warm comfort in these dark times

Written as a Double Etheree, my synonyms are Fragment and Bustle.
A
Crystal
Flurries down
Rushing to meet
A man made of white.
Top hat upon his head
Eyes of coal, a carrot nose,
Mittened hands, endless snowball fights
Days of youth, returning within us.
The bustle of the holiday season.
The coming together of family,
Dearest to our hearts, celebrating
A thankfulness, many blessings
Each one, a mere fragment, of
Years gone by, call to mind
All who have gathered
Bringing with them
Tidings of
Great joy,
Love

Colleen’s poetry challenge for this week is a photo prompt! Ironically, I used the same picture in a poem I wrote this past Monday, titled, “My Own Little Space“. Colleen challenged me to write a Haiku based on the same photo, to see where else the prompt might take me. So, here is my Haiku!
Morning sun wakens
Many feathered creatures fly
Among orange clouds

Of leaves and stones
Made for quiet moments
Serenely, with the lake’s beauty
Reflects
