Color Mandala

The prompt at “One Single Impression” this week is ‘color’.   This was such a fun prompt.

It’s fractured color
Bits of red and blue and green
Like splinters of joy!

Glory Mandala

The prompt at One Single Impression this week is “Glory”.  It seems I just naturally think of the American Flag when I hear the word ‘glory’.

First I wrote the haiku then did the mandala.

Glory of the flag
It represents our freedom
Stars and stripes wave on!

Last week I read a new type of poem (to me).  Thanks to MEEAUGRAPHIE for writing “Increasing Syllables 1-7″ so I had to try one.

Glory
of our
freedom flag
waving in the breeze
telling the world
we are a free people
Wave on, oh red, white and blue.

Stranded Mandala

The theme word at One Single Impression this week is “Stranded”.

I was really inspired with this prompt.

Go and sit outside

Get stranded in the beauty

Make a mandala

And

Dreams and memories.

Get stranded in the moment.

Just drift and enjoy.

And

Like the memories

Leaves and blooms will blow away

Leaving only warmth.

I have never made a mandala using only natural materials before and it was great fun.   I was just sitting outside and thinking about ’stranded’ which led to this moment of creativity.  Thanks ‘One Single Impression’ for the inspiration.
