Hello, beautiful readers! Happy Labor Day to my fellow Americans. May you be using this day for self-care, whatever that looks like for you. I went to the beach yesterday for the first time in a long while, and I enjoyed every minute of it until the thunderstorm rolled in around 3:30 pm. Still, my soul was rejuvenated and my body enjoyed the two laps I swam to the buoy and back. Today, I'm getting things done around the house, which clears my mind, and writing this poem. :-)
Today's challenge comes from Sadje's What Do You See? prompt. She shared the images below, and I decided to write a poem for each of them. The first is a haiku, and the second is a tanka.

avid wanderer
open imagination
through planes, trains, and books

unnoticed in vibrant world
I still have value
flashy colors aren't needed
to add beauty to the world
