Fallen Blossoms

Fallen Blossoms
Fallen Blossoms

through today’s rain
spring and summer soon will fuse
through falling blossoms

I shot this one near my house. The shape and structure of this tree are just lovely, and the ground covered with fallen blossoms seemed a perfect metaphor while spring is supplanted by summer.

The Arc of Sunlight

Flowers Near The Trees

Forgotten Forests

Decayed Stump

against the darkness
memories of trees echoing
forgotten forests

Flowers on a Breezy Day

sunlight on meadows
flowers bouncing in a breeze
some favorite things

 


I’ve been exhausted the past few days as I’ve recovered from my second dose of the covid vaccine. But I’m feeling pretty darn good today.

A Momentary Pause

feasting on sunlight
brief bits of joyful color
momentary pause 

A few days ago I was walking along the nearby waterfront. This burst of color captured my attention, both at the moment and then yesterday, which I spent resting, recovering from my second dose of Moderna. I got a fair amount done in spite of my day of rest, but I didn’t get a haiku posted.

Dose #2

a little arm pain

with a burst of weariness

I listen to birds

I Love The Sound Of The Wind In The Trees

 

wind blows through these trees
memories awakening
tranquility’s song


I’ve always loved the sound of the wind in the trees. In western Washington, it’s a common sound, speaking to me of home.

A Walk in the Woods

Through The Woods

passing under trees
the path dry from the spring sun
with the bold birdsong
