I’ve still not caught up from the two weeks off. On Monday, the bathroom renovations kickoff… I’ll sneak in this haiku for #TankaTuesday which features a color and weather! “Opaque reflections” refer to hazy skies… it’s a stretch for weather, I know. See what happens when you get out of practice? 💜

Thanks, Yvi. I wish we had the skies darken with a storm. Sometimes the clouds look almost purple.

I just read the other day that writing poetry cleanses your writing palate for other types of writing. I know that’s the case for me. ❤
