It's been very cold out lately.
(But still no snow since October! Fingers  crossed that we'll get some...)

Haiku a day

From now until January 15th, I've decided to write one haiku a day, an idea which comes from my friend Nathan at Amherst New Writers Club (http://amherstawc.blogspot.com--totally check it out, it's a great blog ☺).
At the end of that three-week period I'll pick my favorites and share them.
So, yeah! I thought that writing a short poem every day was a nice idea.
Actually, the original idea was to do a haiku every day for a year, but I am hopeless at that kind of long term thing. It's going to be a real challenge to do it steadily for even just three weeks. (I once decided that I was going to become ambidextrous and made the goal of simply writing the alphabet and the numbers with my non-dominant hand every day for a year. I think I did it once, the day I thought of it. It was then completely forgotten.)
I've been having a nice, relaxing winter break and I hope everyone else is too!
Cheers!

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to everyone!
Hope everyone is having a fun winter break. ☺

Hello

Hi Everyone,
Sorry that I haven't posted in a while...I was planning to but the computer is having some problems so I can't right now. Once it's working again I'll post some pictures.
Happy Holidays!

Flight: A poem

The whispering of wings, waiting to spread

I want to be like the birds and cut a path through the sky and the earth

what has never

Existed

does now.

I want to be the sharp, ringing realization of the trees

when they see me

The scent of pine in a cold breeze.

I want to be the

Circle

Oange mushroom clouds in the sky

I want to be like the birds and

Leap and

slide and

Make my way

up,

all the way up,

to the

Top

Lady Caraway

I think I'll make a whole series of pictures like this.

I was inspired to begin some drawings of people and landscapes in some kind of mysterious, different place by the book Amarant: The Flora and Fauna of Atlantis by a Lady Botanist, by Una Woodruff.

This is a really interesting book with really beautiful illustrations--if you see it somewhere, pick it up! Look at it! It's great.

Cheers,
Ava
