the praying mantis
facing down murder hornets
an ominous name
I dig computers
the praying mantis
facing down murder hornets
an ominous name

though the rain has stopped
the ominous clouds stare down
birds oblivious

WITHIN THIS COLD RAIN
DROPLETS DIVING OFF FLOWERS
THE CROW LAUGHS WITH ME




walking this evening
getting to see such beauty
life in quarantine
joyful floral scents
moments of urban beauty soon,
war’s horrors rise
I wrote this haiku after seeing the post below. Such a lovely photo coming a breath before the horror of World War I.
the motion of spring
bold new life; cherry blossoms
slowly fall to earth
the calmness of night
the birds have fallen silent
flowers in the rain
gazing at the moon
I touch the lake; ripples form
across the night’s sky
