Carpe Diem #1072 paint


colors
spilled from nature
onto canvas

crushed
melted and mixed
rainbow on a brush

smells
oils and turpentine
painter's perfume

paint
flowing from the brush
mental orgasm

    Very familiar Janice, but long ago! Hank mainly does acrylic now. It is less messy and kind to the wallet!

    Great series on paint janice. I understand that you also are a painter? Awesome. I once painted myself, but through lack of time and the discovering of haiku I stopped painting. I really miss painting sometimes.

      Never talented as so many but still enjoyed what I did. Gardening took over my painting time. No longer do much of anything with paints. Enjoyed it when I did it.

    Yes, it has been years since I've done anything. But I remember the smell.

neighborhood of colors

Carpe Diem #1263 neighborhood of colors After living for many decades in locations a little too monochrome in their occupants, I am pleased to be living in an apartment complex populated by a wide spectrum of colors and tones.  What joy to look up while on a walk to see someone who looks nothing like a 70 year old white woman.  To see the young mother in her hijab walking with her children.  To hear the rhythm of a different language floating across the pool.  To see the sun set profiling the gay couple as they embrace.  Yes, I am loving this neighborhood of colors. jewels glisten at sunset ©    petra domina Thanks to Chèvrefeuille for daily prompts on CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI

new ways

Carpe Diem Writing and Enjoying Haiku #6 new ways T his has been the year when Hubby and I along with a whole bunch of other folks celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary . We actually started the celebration back at the end of June, our actual 'date'.  It continued with a trip to France. Returning home we began working on The Party that was delayed till the grandsons returned from a summer in Canada. As we have friends our own ages, they, too, are celebrating 50 years.  That means more trips.  Unexpected strength of hurricane Harvey resulted in Hubby and I choosing to downsize even more.  And how do two people stay together for 50 years of marriage?  Well, forgiveness, understanding and a willingness to step together into the unknown of new ways. fifty years with the same man always something new keeps me guessing what's next? © petra domina Thanks to Chèvrefeuille for daily prompts on CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI   ...
