As I perused Instagram, I found this amazing image of a Japanese maple tree posted by Cindy Voorhies Jordan, @sugarmaglafayette. We have these trees around, but I have not seen one with such a full spray of red. Cindy’s comment inspired this haiku: “The Japanese maples are ablaze this morning.”

Poetry Friday round-up is with my kind friend, Tara at a Teaching Life.
When I am in need of inspiration, I take a break and check my social media feeds. Maybe this is really just distraction, but today I followed the yellow brick road to a poem from posts on Instagram.
Rainbows over Bonne Terre farm in Breaux Bridge posted by my friend Jen. Click to visit her B&B page.
Ominous sky,
Rain,
Tall cane,
Summer day.Fat caterpillar
crawling up
Up,
Up.The one
I’m always becoming
has caught me
again and again.*A surprise
around every corner.
A rainbow
named Sparkle,
Endless
fascination
inside
a life.I can’t wait
to bloom.–Margaret Simon
