Urban Flower: A Haiku

Urban Flower

upon the roadside
waiting for the bees to come
embracing sunlight

A Walk In The Woods

A Walk In The Woods

underneath the trees
sunlight and clouds dance above
feet upon the earth

Kissed by Sunlight

Rhododendron bloom

kissed by the sunlight
dancing upon the spring breeze
the arc of petals

Skyward through trees

gazing skyward
sunlight flows through the trees
crows laughing boldly

Snoozing Through Winter

Awakening

snoozing through winter
slowly awakening
morning’s gentle rain


Today’s “Word of the Day Challenge” is Snooze. These words came while watching rhododendron blooms slowly come to life this week.

Blessings on the Wind

Cherry Blossoms

as spring moves forward
sunlight dancing on blossoms
blessings on the wind

Blossoms in the Breeze

upon the spring breeze

blossoms gracefully dancing

within the sunlight

Moment of Sunlight

Spring moments

moment of sunlight
gentle breeze against the sky
now the calm of night


I took this photo while trying to capture a bee dancing vigorously between the blooms. She was much too fast for my photo, sadly. Yet it was a lovely moment.

Blossoms Fading

fallen petals

springtime passing by
now branches filling with leaves
blossom petals shed


I’m noticing the cherry blossoms, oh so recently bursting forth, starting to fall. It is one their beauties, their fragility, their temporary presence. Emergence to vanished is such a short window.

Dandelions

graced with deep tenacity
loved by butterflies
