Hello, beautiful readers! Last week was so busy that I only had time to write one poem. This week isn't going to provide me much writing time, either. Thankfully, my busyness is connected to enjoyment, which I've been missing out on because of other life circumstances. My renovation still isn't done, but I'm dealing with that situation. For now, I'm focusing on the positives in my life.
Today, I am combining two challenges. The first is dVerse's Poets Pub - Quadrille #231, which De Jackson invites us to use the word much (or a semblance of the word) in our Quadrille. I've chosen to add an 'l' and use mulch instead. I decided to create a haibun for my Quadrille.
The second challenge comes from Melissa's Fandango Flash Fiction Challenge, where Melissa shares with us the image below and invites us to let it inspire us.

Becoming One with Nature
Hiking is one of my favorite pastimes. Listening to nature's symphony, walking among the giants, and breathing in the soil's richness relaxes me, allowing me to shed negative energy and absorb life's precious gift.

Thank you, De! I appreciate you visiting. :-)
DeleteThe inhabitants of nature's ecosystems know how to work together. It's been meticulously put together -- as long as humans leave it alone! Glad you have been enjoying yourself lately, Yvette.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Lisa! We are simply visitors and should leave no trace of ourselves in their home. Thanks for visiting! :-)
DeleteI enjoyed your hiking haibun-quadrille, Yvette, and that you went with De’s suggestion of adding an ‘l’ to ‘much’. I love the thought of ‘walking among the giants’.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kim! I've visited the Redwoods, and it truly is a walk among giants. Thanks for stopping by. :-)
