At the beach 

A girl at the beach
Carrying a water bucket
Flicking water from
Her fingers
A baptism
 

Memorial Day Meditation 2

As I remember
Those lights stolen by our wars
Praying that we’ve learned

A Memorial Day Haiku 

In Flanders fields
Amidst poppies and lark song
Lie our lost lessons

The past holds much wisdom
Ignoring it has grave risks
Ignorance delights
 

Daily Prompt – Radiate

Oh, children!
How they radiate
Joy and wonder
Which the world
Eats with raging
Gluttony
Sipping misery’s tears
Commenting on the bouque
