skyward, she shifts her gaze
seaward to the storm

Mirrored in water and sky....
Trails of balloons and cold mystery.
You managed a virgin in there. I'm impressed.

B.T.W. will you be visiting Nanka?
If you do, could you tell her I cannot make her comment box work, even though everybody else manages to. Please tell her I like her haiku posts very much.

Thank you Meri for Joco's comment, I greatly appreciate it!!

This image is so beautiful and befits the Haiku!!

Looks like it is the lull before the storm and she stands secure and confident.

The heavenward offering of the balloons must have instilled the confidence in her.

Astrological Profile

Image
So. . . according to the time and place of my birth, my Sun is in Virgo. My Moon is in Scorpio. My rising sign (Ascendant) is in Aries. I tend toward perfectionism and can be critical, sometimes directing it at others but mostly toward myself. I have emotional depth and when I fall in love, I'm totally committed and expect the same of my Beloved (though my secret fear is betrayal). I like being active and my mind is quick. Knowledge is important to me, as is mastery of things that interest me. I tend to dive into things headfirst and sometimes I let myself go hogwild. . . and wear myself out. And often, once I know as much about something as I need to know, I lose interest and am off to the next shiny thing. What's your profile? (And I know that the good stuff applies, but the bad stuff is just so much bunk.)
