Poets and Photographers Wednesday


Clematis


Nature filling my spirit with amazing love. Seeing life and nature through the eyes of an artist's soul is both an asset and a deficit. Having heightened sensitivity means one has to discern what to select and what to discard. Life is a veritable banquet with so many beautiful choices. What will you choose to focus on today?

Today we are choosing to share with several creative blogs:

Haiku Wednesday
ABC Wednesday
Outdoor Wednesday
aquariann's Worldless Wednesday
My Favorite Photo


Haiku is below

'Moonlight Serenade'

ArtMuse Dog and I love the outdoors and what better light outside than the moon. I am fascinated by the moon and so I share two versions of moon photographs with you.




'Moonlight Rhapsody'

Many lyricists have written songs about moonlight. If the moon could sing, I wonder what those words and melody might be.




haiku


music flowed soul
fingertips danced talent
melody lingered.
-o-


canvas bare, no paint
till she swiftly created colors
speaking of life light.
-o-


talent, a gift shared
creativity abounds here
she doubted if true.
-o-


Hope you enjoy the creative poets and photographers that we are sharing with today. Please read my haiku before hopping on.

May you all have a wonderful week and exceptional Wednesday.




Hugs and namaste,




and


We love to have you post your comments, thoughts or questions to delight us all in the day ~ especially, ArtMuse Dog ^_^





QUOTE FOR THE DAY: 'But after a few minutes I sighed with relief. She didn't want the moon after all, just a tiny star, almost invisible, a little off to the side. I went to look for it.'
~ Murilo Rubiao

    Lovely Haiku. We , Chinese will celebrate the Moon Festival come this September which is June in the Lunar Calender. There is a folk story about a rabbit and her lover. I wonder too about the moon. Such a spectacular mystery to all of us who admire its beauty! hugs shakira

    Some don't believe they can exploit their God given talents and lose out! All because they refuse to 'see' them! Great write Carol

    The moon has been especially lovely this month, the thought of it singing has endless possibilities, maybe it just sings to our hearts.

    Loved your Haikus-they are quite rhythmic!
    And, by no coincidence, I'm sure, today is the full moon! I think if the moon could write it's own music it sure would be "Moonlight Sonata".

    Thanks for subscribing to my blog!
