Spectacle Mandala

I had a lot of fun doing this one.   I love how the black paper makes everything pop.

The prompt at One Single Impression this week is ’spectacle’.

The star spectacle
Sparkling, shooting and hunting
Share the night with them

This was fun to write and to make a mandala for.

In every dream for your face
And know you still care

Ever the romantic

Homecoming Mandala

The prompt at One Single Impression this week is ‘Spectacle’.

In keeping with the Summer Olympics I worte this haiku:

Olympics this week
A world-watched spectacle
Only the best win

I am editing this to reflect the change from spectacle to homecoming that I didn’t know about.  So I changed the title and wrote another haiku, still thinking about the Olympics.

The men, the women
Making the homecoming count
With Olympic gold

Hard to tell that I have been glued to the TV watching the games.

Stairway Mandala

The prompt at One Single Impression this week is ‘Stairway’ suggested by ‘Quiet Paths’.

Two haiku came to mind with this prompt.

Stairway to heaven
Scattered with love all the way
Given and received

Then:

The road can be rough
But you can smooth it with love
So climb that stairway

Have a great day everyone and thanks for stopping by.  I have been having computer access problems but will try to visit you.

Folly Mandala

The prompt at One Single Impression this week is ‘Folly’ suggested by Forest River Journal.

I had fun with alliteration on this one:

F is for folly,
Fun, friends, five fragrant flowers.
And feeling foolish.

Right after that I had to go shopping at the art store and found some fun acrylic paints and black paper sketchbook and made this mandala.  Then this haiku popped into my head:

I bought new colors
To use on new black paper
Not folly for sure

Thanks to OSI I am always inspired!
