nuttin' honey...

Remember that line from a Jimmy Buffett song?...
"The weather is here, wish you were beautiful"
That's how nice it's been today in Akron, O hi O.
 68 degrees, beautiful blue sky and a lovely breeze.
Today would make a perfect forever.
Well, the weather part anyway.
I guess it's up to us to plug in the preferred details.

Hope where you are is just as lovely.

Persistence - haiku...

I tried and I tried

to hang on to what I had.

sanity slippery.

 

This Haiku Monday is hosted by Serendipity.

She chose "persistence" for this week's theme.

Haiku Winner...

So many entries and so many variations on the theme.
I was tempted by several so I took a break and came back
this afternoon to read again with fresh eyes and rested
brain. One stood out as the one which most framed what
had been in my head...

Color arises,
though ground is hard, dry as bone.
Rock garden rainbow.

Thank you, Serendipity!
The photo she used for illustration is beautiful, too.

Serendipity will be next week's host for Haiku Monday.

All of you who took the time to create and enter your
haiku are wonderful, talented and thoughtful.
Bless you all.
