Apricity
A Haiku
Apricity thaws
The firm, frosty, forest floor
Unfurling slowly

The Fish Song
The room didn’t smell like disinfectants. Its fragrance seemed light and not overbearing. A soft mixture of lavender and mint permeated the space. No beeping machines or any tubes hooked up to four-year-old Kaleeka. Her cacao skin seemed to glow from the light over her head. The family, save for one and the doctors and nurses exited the room like a trail of saints showing their last vestiges of regard.

Gosh, this was just so beautiful! I loved it so much!
I could read this over and over! I learned something new, was mesmerized by the photo and was captivated. What more could I ask for?!
9 words, alliteration, so eloquent and pretty. Well done. It deserved Top Story, for sure!
Nice.
Stunning work!
Ah yes I saw this, and will leave a comment as at least a return for reading my story. I do like this and you have a new subscription
Thank you for making me get my dictionary out, and now adding to MY lexicon.
I would contend that your life in the visual arts has informed and shaped your literacy in ways you have yet to discover. And it's a beautiful thing, discovering, uncovering layers and connections. 155 degree tangents are educational.
Deep insightful poem.
Beautiful!
Beautiful nature and tranquility is a very beautiful thing
أنا اعيش مهدوم المشاعر في مكان ما ليس فيه رحمه من بشر الناس قست قلوبها
Wow 🤩 nicely written 🥰👍
Well, you got a new sub here... ;)
Love this! Beautiful work. 💚☀️
Oooh this depicts such a beautiful image! Love this haiku
Beautiful haiku! The idea of the grass and moss on the forest floor unfurling and revealing itself out of the ice creates such a visual feast from so few words.
Nicely done.
Apricity Is my favorite feeling; I love winter and the sort of experience. Very well done here!
Thank you for teaching me a new word! I love the alliteration on the second line (I am such a sucker for some sweet alliteration). Beautiful flow ☺️
