TJ’s prompt this week:
Focus your brain
Welcoming an idea
To simply flower
Ritu 2017
Or…
Focus your brain
Allowing an idea
To simply flower
Ritu 2017#
Two variations that Graeme suggested I showcase together, showing two focuses or focii!
Which one do you prefer?

TJ is back with another set of great prompts, photographic and wordy!
and
Firstly TJ, I totally agree with you! The art of letter writing has waned, and it is such a shame! I try to encourage my children to write a letter or two once in a while, to their grandparents and uncle in Finland!
A couple of weeks ago, an envelope arrived for Lil Princess and she was ecstatic to receive a letter from her best friend who has moved to a different area of the country! She quickly wrote a reply back and is now awaiting a reply!
So the first Haiku is for her!
Full of the joy that
Only a letter can bring
A smile on her lipsRitu 2017
The second inspired by the beautiful photo and letter opener.
Just a little slit
In a bulging envelope
True friendship is foundRitu 2017

TJ has some great words and a beautiful photo for us again this week!
Here are my takes. The first using the photo and words. The second and third inspired by the words.
Look towards Heaven
Beautiful ancient carving
Woven to delight
The women of old
Weaving fabric to clothe all
Worked their fingers raw
Dreams of ancient souls
Voices weaving through my thoughts
Guiding me through life
