flowers bloom briefly
before the winter winds blow,
stretching out fall's sway

darker earlier,
lighter later for morning,
mark fall's progression
chill on equinox
overnight, upper forties
marks arriving fall

In my monthly newsletter I pointed to a blog by #clmooc member @sheri42.bsky.social & to the DS106 Daily Create. Both share creative activities that could be used in #tutor #mentor & learning programs, as well as in schools & home. See the newsletter at tutormentorexchange.net/2025-newslet...
I've been connected to a variety of educators since the late 2000s via on-line groups on different platforms. I met the #etmooc and #clmooc group in 2013. Many of those people are part of #DS106. I keep encouraging people involved in other tutor, mentor programs to connect the same way I have.

a sliding cold front
delivers needed rainfall,
breaking summer drought
cool temps overnight
kept me snuggled in my bed
longer than normal
skimpy showers fail
to overcome sunbaked grass
under summer skies
hoping for sunshine,
though without blistering heat,
for this August day

heat abated here
but not elsewhere in August
where heavy rain falls
heat abated here
but not elsewhere in August
where heavy rain falls

birds awake on time
to remind us of our chance
to enjoy today
birds awake on time
to remind us of our chance
to enjoy today
Blink once; flowers bloom;
we're sitting inside the room,
just weather-guessing
#SmallPoems#SundayHaiku response #clmooc
showers in mornings
change to sunny afternoons...
or rain may persist
I gathered up 18 short instrumental #music pieces that I created while away in Nova Scotia with my wife. Each day, I would write a journal entry, a small poem, and then I compose a short instrumental piece to "evoke" something we saw or did.
If curious, the tracks are on Bandcamp (with our dog, Rayna, gracing the artwork and she even got her own music track - #18 -- after watching her joyfully racing on a beach one day with puppy-like Zoomies)
This prompt comes a day after comic creator @nsousanis (who is mostly on Bsky but I'll still tag him) asked people what we thought of his idea of creating one long accordion-style page for the entire first chapter of the future follow up to his fantastic book Unflattening. (If you have not read Unflattening, you should)
I suggest the paper in question from this prompt be used for this particular purpose! Quick -- Someone tell Nick's publisher!
