Strong & true poetry! Thanks.

Welcome to #NaHaiWriMo!

February is #Haiku Month. Join us to celebrate Wolf Pack Highlights every Tuesday. Today our journey starts with Thomas L. Vaultonburg's (@wolftwinthomas.bsky.social) new #freeform haiku:

moon in the thorns—
something wounded
keeps shining

Hare running across snowy or frosty landscape with golden lower border, pink moon, painting.

Goodnight.
Hare, The Frost Pink Moon, Catherine Hyde.

28 Jan 2026 - a lone surfer at Muriwai Beach sits out some of the waves for a spell. Other beachgoers beyond him are in varying states of walking in/wading in the water. This photo was a complete accident as I didn't purposefully set out for this outcome. (I usually don't take B&W or monochrome as this may or may not be, I'm still learning.) Yet I'm pleased it turned out this way. The mists and fine spray of the surf nestle within the low black sand dunes in the farther distance. A lone windswept Norfolk pine is over to the right-hand side of the photo.

sharing the barley
with chickadees on my sill
thin soup

cruel winter wind
the promise of spring
invisible
without a home
a barren landscape

white sky through the tree
the small spaces between words
becoming windows

winter nettles—
silver
with consequences

quiet quitting
I relinquish my workspace
to the ghosts

imagine a door—
day moon cloaked in winter mist,
a magical coach

Welcome to the world you beautiful thought. I see you shiny & bright, your possibilities endless. There are dark corners here. Muttering & things that tell you not to hope. But you’ll be fine. I’ll look in on you often . I will dust you and leave songs for you to find.

Birds gather on a snow covered table.

Every so often we get new visitors..✨

Having slight issues with my Etsy and then remembered ..oh yeah I have a Ko-fi page! So this is there now. ko-fi.com/s/7d490cc1d6

The world would be a sad, sad place without crows 🖤

bitter winter
huddled on the frozen lake
empty buckets

Wednesday February 4th prompt is #welcome #thingstowriteabout

Birds nesting, in the cherry tree; a petal-white sky, their roof and bed.

Serene heaven, this airy home; almost hidden, from the prying ground.

The wonders, of the world are many; how few are seen, by human eyes?

bursting pipes
a brief illusion
of spring rain

#Ghost is the shape of wanting after a body. You can touch yourself to feel the outline, the shape desire carves. You are the empty space another's need has made. If you open, the wanting wants in, flooding you with shapelessness. A ghost has no shape but has yours, traced.

I think of summer,
Garden soaked in bright colours,
And how the sun felt.

You are pale but unqualified.You will never be a ghost or spectre. You can pretend to haunt forests, glide through fog as if you can disappear but you will always shine too brightly. You will never scare. Things will approach cautiously but will never be afraid.

busy, busy frost!

Hoar frost on dried grass.

Today is spiky. ✨

Oh! Forgot Imbolc
and goddess Brigid this year
but noticed more light ... ✨✨✨
