This evening’s haiku

gazing to the west
sunlight stretching through the rose
I'm cooled by the breeze

Today’s Haiku

the rain grows warmer
slowly the plants awaken
the season's motion

I saw this little blossom on my walk today. Right before the rains started. It’s was cold,  then damp. But I was equipped,  so it was pleasant. Not a bad way to surrender a Sunday afternoon.

Spring Irises

these spring irises
the other side of the fence
caressed by the rain

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.

Mysteries

Sink By The Sidewalk

next to the sidewalk
what strange story exists here?
today’s mystery

Dandelions

undesirable
graced with deep tenacity
loved by butterflies

Word of the Day Challenge: Abandoned

troubling my mind
why was this place abandoned?
these lives forgotten


Today’s Word of the Day Challenge features the word “abandoned”, which reminded me of all the houses I’ve seen, empty, decaying. I wonder about the lives that were there before. I wonder about what caused these places to be left behind. What joys, sadnesses and pain have faded into oblivion?

I hope you have a wonderful day.
