I went through a number of variations on this. Still not sure which one I like the best. This, which I mailed in for my poem-a-day group, or the adaptation I used for Ronovan Writes Haiku weekly challenge. Or perhaps one of the drafts that I deleted.

New Snow (4 November 2017)

blanket of new snow
puffy clouds hold in earth’s warmth
rabbit tracks melt first

November Weather (3 November 2017)

Today’s prompt is from The Daily Poet: What’s The Weather Out There?

tiny snowflakes drift

down in slow motion…to ground

too warm to hold them

Also, I made a stab at using the prompt for today from the NaHaiWriMo page: hurricane

hurricane of sights
cacophony of noises
chaos on chaos

worlds don’t end by fire or ice
but buried by falling stars

Solar Sky Diving (2 November 2017)

unfurl your wings
catch and sail the solar wind
from Venus to Earth

hide inside Luna’s shadow—
count the myriad divers stars

NaHaiWriMo prompt for November 2: solar wind.

I went with NaHaiWriMo’s prompt, again: solar wind. I remember reading a science fiction book (I think it was in Lightwing, by Tara Harper, 1992) that included traveling from asteroid to asteroid using foil sails powered by the solar winds of the star where their space station was placed in orbit. Sometimes I dream of it

One feather (1 November 2017)

white feather—
cradled by blades of grass—
free of dew

one feather fell to earth
together the rest still fly

Not a novelist, I intend to write (at least) one poem a day during November 2017, during the 2017 #NaNoWriMo challenge.

Finding Everyday Inspiration, Day 4: In Transit

In Transit:
Nth Dimension Travel

the perfect place, filled
with people going somewhere—
step aside from them

picture one unnumbered world
where green, vibrant valleys wait

cross over, mindful
to watch your step–don’t look up
and lose the pathway

two stations, many journeys
may you new tomorrows find

NaPoWriMo17, Day 28 – Lake in Winter

wildlifeartbykaz at pixibay — The Lake in Winter

the lake in winter

whispering silence
gentle touch of winter’s cold
water’s smooth surface

the quiet of falling snow
the chime as each flake fractures
