life is hitched to work
with first rays of new morning
frantic in calmness
steeds goof at town studs
wagons quivering with weight
on bars at the stalls
aroma of tea
from baker’s window; breakfast
of freshly baked bread
women horde around
birdlike ; searching for bargains
fruits, veggies and blooms
colorful racks call
life never crawls; Sunday market
brightens pallid life

Poetry & writing to me are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
What a lovely Sunday morning picture you paint with words!
Your palette today is full of vibrancy Leo!!….and you have done justice to the wordle words!!
This was great Leo. Some great imagery – sounds like a great place to be.
This is wonderful, Leo. My hope was that these words would bring up interesting settings. The Sunday market is a perfect first stop for me this morning. Thanks for wordling with us….nicely done!
And you too, painted a lovely picture with your words. I could see all the women and all the vibrant colours~!
Lovely, vivid write!
A nice one Leo. You are very talented.Melanie
Lovely depiction of farmer's market. I can just see it now… and the picture at the bottom is perfect.http://lkharris-kolp.blogspot.com/2011/09/sweet-nothing-secrets.html
Your picture of words is as good as the painting you have added. Beautiful post.
I'm there and great artwork too!
Leo, Just loved the images you painted of a Sunday Farmer's Market. I could smell the bread in the third stanza. Just wonderful! Caliifornia Ink in Motion
Thank you, TheMsLvh. Glad you liked it and that you could visualize it.
Have fun at the market, Island. 🙂
That was the aim and I'm glad it could work out, Janhvi. I'm still struggling a little with the challenge you threw me though.
Thank you very much, Laurie. 🙂
Thank you, Melanie.
Thanks, Mama Zen.
Glad you liked the painting of my words, Daydreamer. Thank you 🙂
My mind at first had gone to a nightmare setting, Brenda. But I thought it was time my mind came out of any melancholy it found itself in. So thought again, and I am glad it came out nicely. Thank you for the inspiration.
Thank you, and it is. On Sunday, the village market in my native place is always buzzing, Mike.
I am glad for that, and thank you very much, Nanka.
Thank you, Andy.. 🙂
what a lively and beautiful picture you painted 🙂 enjoyed reading
Thank you and glad you enjoyed the visit, Raji 🙂
great visions you strike in my minds eye here Vinay, and the artwork compliments your work nicely.
Thank you, Amanda.
Well done, Leo, combining the wordle and HH prompts. And the artwork with it is wonderful. 🙂
Glad you liked the combine, Traci. Thank you. 🙂
A haiku story….that's neat and the words and the art makes for a perfect cuppa coffee and a rocking chair, watching from a window nearby. 🙂
Ah, the Sunday market can be quite a nice sight indeed, Rekha. Thank you for liking it.. 🙂
A real pleasure. Thanks
There is a vibrancy to this, not just within the artwork (which is also fabulous)… love the endearing quality.
Combined with the artwork the words become more colorful and rich. Thank you for sharing.
This is a vibrant expression of the art work in haiku form. Very nice!
nice. love going to the market…so many different people to see, things to see…last week at ours there was a girl doing the hula hoop for hours…very creatively…
Oh yes, the market is the meeting place of many different aspects of life I think, Brian. Glad you liked it.. 🙂 I can imagine that hoola hoop girl in my mind too..
Thank you so much, Seaside Author. 🙂
Glad you felt my haiku set as vibrant, Reflections. Thank you 🙂
It's my pleasure too, Barbara. 🙂
First stanza image of life hitched to work like a wagon starts this off with an immediate bang, pulling the reader into what turns out to be a very rich and active, lively morning scene. Enjoyed it much.
Loved this! The image you chose to accompany the write is perfect and so colorful! Much like the write itself…I could smell the bread, and hear the chirp of the gals as they go about their shopping. A nice little escape you provided me today, thank you!
