Raindrops fall heavy
A dull grey day turned to song
Gentle percussion

In the damp and dark
Fairy houses are hidden
In the undergrowth

A Little Fairy Magic…
I think I might be a little late to the prompt for this one, but hopefully I managed to just sneak it in under the deadline…I can’t resist anything fae or moon-related!
Three haiku inspired by “Fairy” prompt over at Eugi’ Causerie – thanks so much for the inspiration, Eugenia! 🙂
Silver moon backdrop
To night-time fae enchantment
A world of wishes

Listen by night to
The whispers of stars and moon
Dream away the day
*
Timing is crucial
When the night falls and day flees
Magic by moonlight
Solstice Blessings and Ychydig / Little
Recently I’ve been collating some of the shorter poems from here on the blog with some new ones I have been scribbling away for a poetry competition on Sweek (which is still open by the way, for any budding poets out there!).
The result is Ychydig / Little, a collection of small poems, which can be found and read for free here. There are 40 poems in all, none longer than 9 lines – I think. The poems cover many topics; nature, the moon, stars, dreams, and more besides. The Sweek stats magicians claim it will only take 4 minutes to read it from beginning to end.
And, in case you didn’t know, “ychydig” is a beautiful Welsh word (and one of my favourites) meaning “little”. Though the title is Welsh, the poems are all in English.
If you do have a spare minute – or 4 😉 – and decide to take a quick look at the collection, please let me know what you think. And, if you do enter the competition yourself, post a link to your entry in the comments below and I will gladly have a read.
Wishing you all the Brightest of Summer blessings! Or, if you’re in the southern hemisphere, Wishing you the Brightest of Winter blessings 🙂
Excavating the Archives: Wishing upon Stars
When darkness descends
I am left alone dreaming
Wishing upon stars

Ocean Enchantment
Shimmering light of
Spellbinding moon, stars and sun
Dancing on sea waves
Winter Morning (haiku)
I’m still lagging behind blogging-wise after completing NaNoWriMo, but I spotted this week’s Weekly Tanka Prompt Challenge hosted by Kiwinana over at Ramblings of a Writer, and decided to write a haiku. (I know. It’s been one of those kind of days…perhaps I will get around to writing a tanka for this prompt later in the week…) The words for Week 73 are “mornings” and “winter”.
A frosty breath mists
Words frozen, left unspoken
Cold winter morning
Blue skies
This is for the Weekly Haiku Prompt Challenge, that Kiwinana is hosting over at Ramblings of a Writer. Below is my effort for week 5; the words are “sheltering” and “resting”. The prompt can be found here. Go and check it out!
I am just resting
Sheltering from raging storms
Waiting for blue skies
With the Dawn
Night fades to day and
Sunlight chases dark away
Hope comes with the dawn
Written for Day 9 of A Month of Mini Writing Challenges 2017: Write a haiku inspired by the dawn.
Beauty of Nature
This is for the Weekly Haiku Prompt Challenge, that Kiwinana is hosting over at Ramblings of a Writer. Below is my effort for week 4; the words are “beauty” and “nature”. The prompt can be found here. Go and check it out!
Beauty of nature
Mountains, rivers, fields and caves
Peace and contentment
