under spring sunlight
bees moving between petals
gentle ocean breeze

I adore the simplicity, as well as the challenge of Haiku. The constraints focus my mind, seeking out the essence of the moment, feeling, notion, distilling it to brilliant singularity.
The Blessings Of Night
the blessings of night
dusk's orange skies gently fade
ah, tranquility!
A morning haiku
flittering of bees
dancing upon the petals
a choir of birdsong
I’ve not had my morning tea yet. Time to change that, methinks.
I hope your Friday is inspiring and productive.
Daylight Drifting
daylight drifts downwards the sun seeking its earned rest western mountains glow
Song of Sunlight
admist the flowers
dancing upon the petals
the song of sunlight
The gentle rain
the gentle rainfall
droplets caress the petals
in the early morn
Sunday Morning Haiku
under this spring sun
graceful dance of the spring breeze
as the daylight fades
An Evening Haiku
the evening sunlight
drifting behind western trees
cherry blossoms fall
A friend of mine asked me why I hadn’t written, or posted, any haiku lately. My answer is pretty lame. She said she missed them, so I offer up this one.
One-Liner Wednesday: A Monoku Response
reddening leaves not yet journeying earthwards, soon autumn storms come
Here’s my contribution to Linda G. Hills “One-Liner Wednesday” prompt. I discovered this through Fandango’s response to the same prompt.
This is a monoku, essentially a variant of haiku. If you’re not familiar with them, Jason Muckley has a great explanation on his blog.
Autumnal Blooms
autumn progresses
rains arrive and the air cools
yet flowers resist
It surprises me, at times, the persistent resilience of flowers. Though fully in jacket and sweater season, flowers still reach to the cold sky.
