Zoom Yoga 4/22-4/27 & Short Sweet Poems
My dear friend Lauren Krauze is a poet and author and for a while was writing haiku that she called Short Sweet Poems. These poems brought such imagery to my mind with such a small amount of words that I found myself drawing them.
In addition to this week’s Zoom schedule, below you will find some drawings I did a few years ago based on Lauren’s poetry.
Letters to you/ my words will always/and never/fail 
he holds hands/in his hands – clock repairman 
tossed high from the pile/the leaves fall again 
under the umbrella/a tiny hand/reaches for the rain 
Haunted house: $5/ strya cats/ wait on the porch – original 
Supper! Bike in the driveway/back tire spinning 
Leaves ride the wind/from a passing train/November 
Green light-/Runaway balloon/crosses the street 
Surrounded by space/ tree’s last leaf/dances wildly/with the wind
Zoom Yoga 4/15-4/20
Song lyrics are also poetry! In keeping with National Poetry Month, these are the lyrics to Bill Withers’ Lovely Day 🙂 And teaching schedule below.
Lovely Day – Bill Withers
When I wake up in the morning, love
And the sunlight hurts my eyes
And something without warning, love
Bears heavy on my mind
Then I look at you
And the world’s alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it’s gonna be
A lovely day
A lovely day
When the day that lies ahead of me
Seems impossible to face
When someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way
Then I look at you
And the world’s alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it’s gonna be
A lovely day
A lovely day
