VANISHED ROADS is available today. These haiku first appeared here on BlueSky. Over the past two years this community has become a home to me. In many ways, I feel we've taken this journey together. I hope you'll consider adding the book to your shelves. www.wolftwin.com/product-page... #haiku

Cover of Vanished Roads by Thomas L. Vaultonburg, featuring original artwork by Tré. A towering blue-gray tree fills the cover, its trunk opening into a luminous passage where a small solitary figure stands. Blue leaves drift through the scene, and winding roots and pathways suggest memory, loss, and renewal. Tré's illustration evokes the contemplative, transformative journey explored throughout this collection of 104 haiku.

I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to these teachers. Kahlil Gibran

Don't use AI to help you write larger texts. Why? AI chooses from a huge pot of input but manages to write in a distinctive AI 'style'. I can 'smell' that sameness leaking everywhere, from which AI is being fed again which birthes more 'sameness'. *SHUDDER* Use your brain and your own style, please.

L'homme n'est qu'une fleur de l'air tenue par la terre, maudite par les astres, respirée par la mort; le souffle et l'ombre de cette coalition, certaines fois, le surélèvent.

Georgia O'keeffe "White Iris No. 7" Oil on canvas

The painting shows a close-up of the delicate, white petals of an iris with a bright yellow center against a soft background.

@thebrokenspine.co.uk #PoemsAbout #Bites I tried. As much as a woman with a stomach ache on a Friday afternoon can. I will be reading the rest later.

October Drizzle

I am the line between the pink silkiness of a sparrow's chirp and the cobalt anvil of an owl's hoot. Once a blanket of clouds covers me, I turn into an October drizzle. Then, I seep into the basement of your dreams. Slowly, like drops of navy blue onto the remaining song notes.

Even though you're pulling them shut, the doors swing on the threshold of my low voice and an underground quiet. They're ajar, sliding between uncharted moonlight and your carpeted imprints.

midnight —
settling into the background
of your sleep

Monet n'est qu'un œil, mais quel œil ! Paul Cézanne

Claude Monet: Poplars on the banks of the river epte seen from the marsh 1892

A vibrant Impressionist painting by Claude Monet depicting a row of tall poplar trees with slender trunks and lush foliage in shades of green, blue, and hints of autumnal orange. The trees stand against a bright blue sky with soft white clouds. The brushwork is loose and textured, capturing the play of light and shadow across the landscape. The foreground shows a grassy field in warm tones, suggesting late afternoon sunlight filtering through the leaves. The composition emphasizes verticality and the rhythmic repetition of the tree forms.

J’aime l’automne, cette triste saison va bien aux souvenirs. Quand les arbres n’ont plus de feuilles, quand le ciel conserve encore au crépuscule la teinte rousse qui dore l’herbe fanée, il est doux de regarder s’éteindre tout ce qui naguère encore brûlait en vous.

The painting depicts an impressionistic sunset over a waterfront city. Vibrant colors like orange, red, and yellow dominate the sky, while the sun appears as a bright circle on the horizon, its light rippling on the water. In the foreground, boats and figures moving along the shore are visible in outline. The silhouette of an urban skyline with towers and buildings stretches in the background beneath a colorful, almost fiery sky.
