This is a nature photo Tré took of a curved poplar branch in the snow. Beneath a white daytime gloom, the background's bokeh features falling flakes and an evergreen forest. A few snowflakes float, suspended around the limb. The scene provokes a chilled serenity that inspired Tré's latest free verse haiku: around poplar's snowy bend another short road

Week 2 of #NaHaiWriMo, we explore winter imagery with this #freeverse #haiku from Tré (@tregallery.com):

Watercolour illustration of a happy little teacup with arms and feet and a little happy face, in vintage blue on white porcelain. The teabag string has a little tag attached to the end with a cute little red heart.

A nice cup of tea, made with love.
What’s your preferred cup of tea? I like to keep things pretty varied, but I always have at least one big cup of mint tea x

This is so charming, Thomas.

Snow is silence
Watch and you feel
The stillness fall
Flake by crystalline flake
Until the laden air pauses
For the earth's sake

Silence is snow
Drifting over the mind
Which seeks to find its peace
From the winter's bite
Only the cold grace of silence
Returns the mind to light

So cute and fluffy! I love them. You're right, their song is golden. 💫

In the bare poplar tree outside my window, Eastern Phoebes have been visiting. Ever-so-slowly, light is returning. I took this photo the other day while watching one gently surf the wind on a limb. Its dusky overcoat and creamy underside make this small puff of feathers look like a smoky cloud droplet against the winter green bokeh. From afar, the Phoebe's eyes look beady, but close up they have beautiful copper irises—so bright and full of cleverness. Here in the Blue Ridge Mountains, they symbolize the renewal of good luck and fortune for the year. Their famous fee-bee song is a harbinger of spring.

Dormant trees heal in winter through compartmentalization—as do we. This #NewYear, I wish for our old wounds to heal like dormant trees, so that we don’t have to carry them into the future.
