Notes About The Poem

PARTLY CLOUDY DAYS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The persistent Texas heat and sunshine have given way to several cooler, partly cloudy days. I step outside, making my way to the nearby walking trails. I gaze up, the clouds lifting my spirits heavenward; I embrace this cloudy day, for it brings subtle whites and cool silvers that accent the sky above. The passing white blossoms of the sky bring a transitory shade. Upon the sidewalk I see a lone butterfly beneath a tree canopy, passing from subdued sun to mellow hues.
partly cloudy days, soft-filtered light soul song becomes louder, more confident in those sweet moments self-reflection

If the weather is good, we enjoy being out with nature. The sky mottled with flecks of white clouds and the cool air make us enjoy our evening jaunt and transforms it to a pleasurable experience. Your haibun has transported me to a heavenly realm.

Your words shimmer with quiet grace. You’ve captured the soul of a cloudy day with poetic clarity—each image a gentle breath of introspection. The butterfly, the light, the sky: all beautifully woven into a meditative moment. Keep writing; your voice is luminous.
