Quiet Morning

In the stillness of the night, snow quietly entered to cradle a sleepy neighborhood in a blanket of warmth. Not until early morning did I realize the gift of late autumn snow nature presented. My leaf-strewn neighborhood was transformed into a wonder-filled, peaceful scene. I captured that tranquil image, digitized it with the app, MobileMonet, and created a #haikuforhealing/#haikuforhope.

From this image poem, I designed a music collage with the app, PicPlayPost. The music complemented the scene and let the day start with a sense of contentment to embrace the day giving a nod to my one little word for 2019. You can see the music collage on YouTube or below.


Switching my thoughts back to an amazing Thanksgiving/birthday holiday at Hotel Hershey, I started the holiday season with autumn's glow and good cheer. The experience brought out the child in all of us as we celebrated the beginning of the holiday season with my granddaughter.


May the spirit of the holidays bring hope to all!

Now, I am traveling over to Elizabeth Steinglass' site, the host of Poetry Friday, to enjoy some poetry magic. Liz has an original poem about a short word that is so important.

    Both the picture and your are lovely, Carol. "Blue Snowdrop Wonder" sets a very peaceful mood. With all the busy-ness around here this morning, it was just what I needed! Thank you!

      I totally agree with you, Linda, but I also have to make the grey days of rains take on a brighter look poetically to get me in the holiday spirit. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

      Thanks, Linda. We now have the rains and grey days. Perhaps, there is a poem in those happenings. Have a great weekend.

      The visual emerged from a mix of what I saw from my bedroom window as I opened the blinds. Have a great weekend, Margaret.

      That is the new look these past days. I even had to decorate my front porch in the rain yesterday because the first set of lights blew out. Is there a poem hidden in that thought??? Hope the weather perks up for us so we can finish our decorating outside.
