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.
these spring irises
the other side of the fence
caressed by the rain
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.
next to the sidewalk
what strange story exists here?
today’s mystery
undesirable
graced with deep tenacity
loved by butterflies
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?
dawn’s quiet ascent
gracefully over mountains
autumn morning chill
morning light peeks
through eastern peeks
shades of red moving
I hope you have a wonderful day.
night’s tranquility
Jupiter’s song to the stars
welcoming my dreams

demanding my trust
grinning that sinister smile
I remain wary
“Benevolent” is today’s Word of the Day challenge. As I spent part of today reading the news, my trust in self-stated benevolence has evaporated.
