A tree splits head first, turned V straddling shore and pond, reflected ripples glint like flames under a log— sunlight and water ignite #tanka #TankaThursday #MicroPoetry #ImageAndVerse

My yard is full of treasures in June. Inspiration from Mother Nature 💚 #ArtInNature

Haiku are everywhere in nature. #HaikuSaturday #haiku #micropoetry #ImageAndVerse Rill marks etched in sand by the sea and gravity— rooting my heart here.

Happy #HaikuSaturday. Photograph taken at Fortunes Rocks Beach, Maine #MidcoastMaine #MicroPoetry #haiku The force of rain storms rounds out rocks, erodes the shore— the last sand standing.

Happy #PoetryFriday! Sharing a video of ocean waves from my trip to the coast of Maine this week because the sound and rhythm of waves on the beach is “poetry in motion” to me! 😊 #MidcoastMaine

Happy #HaikuSaturday 💜 Lilac bouquet brings the fragrance of spring inside— I breathe a long sigh. #haiku #imageandverse #bloomscrolling

I managed to fit 100 of my painted paper blooms in one photo. 😊#The100DayProject I’ll use these blooms to make mobiles, greeting cards, and collages later this year. For now, I’ll be growing real flowers in my gardens! 🌸🌺🐝 #LindaJeanBlooms #PaperFlowers #PaperCrafts #FantasyFlowers #MixedMedia

Happy #PoetryFriday! I’m excited to read these two poetry collections for kids by @sjohnstontaylor.bsky.social that I ordered through my local bookstore! #kidlit #poetryforkids #writingcommunity

For #The100DayProject, I intended to make a bloom a day for 100 days. But I discovered that I didn’t want to stop at just one each day. So I have extras, and I counted them up last week—113 total blooms! So I plan to use the remaining days to glue the blooms to fabric for a wall hanging.

Happy #HaikuSaturday! Tulips invite me to rest by their pastel path— a Spring bed of dreams.

Seven blooms on Saturday for #The100DayProject, Days 57-63 I didn’t come up with a new design this week so this is a medley of bloom styles. #LindaJeanBlooms #PaperFlowers #PaperCrafts #FantasyFlowers #MixedMedia

It’s #InternationalHaikuPoetryDay today! I’m posting my spring haiku and image a day early for #HaikuSaturday. An island or cloud? Blooms floating by in a dream— Spring awakening. #Haiku #ImageandVerse #WatercolorBlooms haiku & image by @lindajeantm.bsky.social

I love this poster for #NationalPoetryMonth. So many ways to shine a light in the darkness through poetry.

Seven blooms on Saturday for #The100DayProject, Days 43-49 I created 2-layered blooms this week. Used colored push pins to attach to a cork board. A solar system of blooms? 🪐🌎 #LindaJeanBlooms #PaperFlowers #PaperCrafts #FantasyFlowers #MixedMedia

April’s full Pink Moon is named for pink phlox in bloom, both heralds of spring. #HaikuSaturday #SpringFlower #FullMoon #ImageandVerse

Continuing to play with the idea of a mandala-inspired bloom. Watercolor and ink. Imperfectly made by human hands 😊

Seven blooms on Saturday: Days 36-42 of #The100DayProject. I played with how to display paper blooms—pasted on fabric (recycled curtain fabric), framed with a hoop. I plan to add stitching!🧵 #LindaJeanBlooms #PaperFlowers #PaperCrafts #FantasyFlowers #MixedMedia #Collage
