I write tiny poems, read literary fiction (esp women in translation), watch Korean and Japanese dramas and films, and dream about plants taking over the world.🌲🌲🌳✨️

that you'll miss it
but it seems so far away
and then one day
you're living in someday

Happy Halloween! This one's from 2012 (Obama signs!). I loved taking our kids trick-or-treating. I hope all of you with little ones have a wonderful time tonight!

all down the thorn hedge

Ambience...
Decorating the indoor perspective
Surroundings lit by candle light
Snugness wrapped up warmly
Outside the view is quite barren
Trees shivering in their emptiness
A setting of greys and charcoals
Inside the ambience simply hugs...

in the rain I
remember poppies
cool flame,
silk against warmed skin
golden hearts in crimson
bending, bending
▪︎
now golden
hearts of dancing crimson
flames warm skin,
chilled with rain &
I remember
poppies
