Sunny warmth flowing
A man is sleeping outdoors

Petals of Spring
#Spring’s remnants
Flutter to the ground
Soon nothing left
Save pale, decaying
Petals
Soaring To Mountaintops…Metaphorically
Upon a mountain
Longing to soar like eagles
Common metaphors
I regularly engage with a Twitter account titled “Baffled“. They post a near-daily Haiku Challenge. Today’s was “any haiku you want as long as it includes ‘mountain'”. Here’s my addition. With a side of snark.

Loneliness
Loneliness withers
Decaying dreams crumbling
Hope can save you yet
Restful Sunday
Today’s calmness comes
As lightly as these spring rains
Healing restfulness
Our Collective Attention
So vapid a thing
Our collective attention
Oh look! A squirrel
A Sunday afternoon
This Sunday, mid-day
Sunlight streams in through windows
Calmness seeping in
Scenes from my walk
Wandering my streets
With my basic agenda
And I find magic
Patience in Anger
Patience in anger,
This discipline of the mind
Saves one regret’s pain
Now awake
I now stare within
Frightened by my ignorance
Suddenly birdsong
