Thirty-one morae
Reflection of life well lived
Forming poetry
Heartfelt words touch others
Beauty in another dawn
In honor of Jane Reichhold’s poem and life:
leaving home
morning sky pink
with promises
to return to this place
the sun rises higher
From Jane Reichholds’s A Gift of Tanka
In response to CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI: Carpe Diem Theme Week (6) 2 Utabukuro Jane Reichhold

I am a scientist by trade and artist by soul. My creative outlet used to be dancing but due to injuries and age, I must now find another path. I am hoping my writing, poetry and photography can be this new path.
Awards: While I am grateful and honored for the numerous nominations, I don’t have time to respond to them with the attention they deserve, so for the most part, I am an award free blog.

Simply gorgeous! The colors, reflection in the water, the mood make me want to sit there in person and take it all in!

Thank you in cahoots. It was a stunning sunrise. It got me to stop and get out of my car instead of heading to work right away.

This splendid photo/poem tribute to JR is also educational. *Mora/morae* was new to me. Yes, it is a better English approximation to *onji* than the usual *syllable/syllables*.

Thank you Mellow. I find myself both saddened at her passing and in awe of her strength.
