HYPE

stark sunlight
the concrete sidewalk hot with
incentive to win

The Great Race circle
of players and fans hitch
their boats for display

no time to wallow
in despair; pounding the beat
calypso music

scatter the strain
of waiting anxiety
illuminate fun

striking a chord of neighbourhood gaiety

For many, Sunday is a day of reflection; after a busy working week, comes Sunday; many put aside time to go to church, others just to read the Sunday newspaper. A good day to gently swing in your hammock, those of us who have one, recline in a comfortable chair, plop down on a beach towel, etc etc etc. What's special about all of these, and similiar quiet Sunday activities? Such persons seem to, and may be chided for, doing nothing; but really, a deep contemplative action is taking place.

What are you reflective about this Sunday? for me its all that nice vibe out on the main road yesterday, during promotion for Great Race August 24th 2013. Revisit Great Race 2012 Website

SALT AND GREEN GUAVAS

it all makes sense
my childhood landscape reviewed...
salt and green guavas

gravity dictates
head in clouds
feet in shoes

a quiet breath
sends a whispered prayer
shadow fades to light

daily bread...
plans already drawn
building the kingdom

threadbare clichés only wear one out
--gillena cox


(i created the image of 'green guavas' after seeing some, while out on an errand, weeks ago; and filed it. Since i was sharing my NaHaiWriMo prompts here during the month of August; i haven't written a wordle response in a while; today, i decided to get back to the wordles, after looking at this week's, i started doodling with the words, and realized i could use the 'green guavas' image to haiga, to introduce, and to title; so hope you enjoy SALT AND GREEN GUAVAS )
