Unexpected at Paper Poetry

The Seed and Soil of Creativity

Oh, the interconnected unexpectedness!

Scribblings and doodles by poet

Tufts of alyssum
Seeds ride wind’s magic carpet
I think of the Muse
Poems rise from sidewalk cracks
Petals litter our keyboards

I went outside yesterday to water the pots by my front door…and, voila, oh my goodness, at the foot of one of the planters I found two tiny tufts of alyssum. A favorite flower! A lovely surprise — and mystery because I’m not growing any at the moment.

Thank you, Indubala Kachhawa, for the prompt that seeded this tanka.

It MAY happen, It MAY not happen

Congratulations, Carolyn Hastings, for your unexpected artistic affirmation and triumph!
