Day 116 – 2022 Creativity Project

Trying different things. I hope you enjoy them. Likes, comments, follows and shares are appreciated.

The graphic portion of the above creation was done in CC Express. The design, photo, and poem were mine.

I recommend CC Express. It is very fun to use on all devices.

Prompt: If you are not creating, find a way to now. If you are, do something that stretches your talents.

2022 Creativity Project – March 28

1
There is a feeling,
Extraordinary, when
A new book opens
And the reader goes within
To travel worlds, places, times.

2
Reading is such joy
To be caught up in story,
A shiny new toy.

3
It is  cumbersome
Bumbling through every day,
Searching for a way
Outside the hive of struggle
Into a higher state, life.

Thank you for visiting Haphazard Creative. Please come back soon, share with others, and if you did, share a like.

2022 Creativity Project – March 9

Triple Tanka
1
Time, a volcano,
Turning elements into flame
Hearts afire again;
If only for one moment
Caught before returning rain.
2
Say we are raveled
Though spun with sincerest care
Hard use it spoils, tears,
Loving cannot erase; its
Pardons, though, it quickly makes.
3
Birthday remembered
Though effort made to take
It from memory,
There is that second I wish
Myself wherever you are.

I finished another book today. I am behind; I have read only nine this year. Long ones, though, some would say that makes no matter. They would agree with me. Still, I think it explains.

I am thankful I got the fiberfill the dog scatters off the carpet, sweeping. I also washed three loads of clothes and a dishwasher full of dishes. I would I felt more energetic. I am lying down as I write this.

Yes, I know you do not have to know, but I am challenged; maybe you are too. Perhaps we should more often celebrate progress.

Prompt
Progress can be anything that is completed which includes challenge or not. Create a piece celebrating progress.

Thank you for visiting Haphazard Creative; please like, follow, and share the site. I hope you will come back again. Your comments are always welcome. Bless you, finishing off this week. Remember those who need your thoughts and prayers. If you can pay it forward, do it.

2022 Creativity Project – Feb. 17

Counted Syllabics
1.
Sleep an absolute
Need to live, survive, and thrive,
Elusive indeed.
2.
Rent a what? Human,
Surely not, but is that what
By the hour, implies?
3.
Reading you and me
The sophisticated one
Graduated tops.
4.
I am awash in
An explosion of these tasks,
Before completion
Numbers seem to propagate,
Sunset calls; owls, “Whoo,” eerie.

Today was long. I will leave you with this prompt.

If you recognize set limitations, can you be happy within the boundaries? Create your explanation.
