Facing Forward, Pursuing Progress
​summer’s excesses
Helios’ angry glare
I await night’s grace
glorious sunlight
captured in the greenery
delights of summer
A good day with friends, time in the sunlight, absorbing the life-giving rays. Refreshing my soul during the trials of this pandemic. Life is good.
early morning
small birds converse
time for tea
Early morning, no one else awake. I sip tea and listen to the birds sing.
For this poem and image I used the app “InstaQuote” on my Kindle Fire. I like the paper background and the font choices. It’s my preferred app on my Kindle since there’s no Canva app.
Often with my haiku I seek a minimalist, handwritten ascetic. For me, that captures the essence and history of haiku.
through the summer’s sun
life drips down upon the earth
bees sing merrily
in the morning air
humanity is silent
I hear the birds sing
July is marching past. August approaches quickly. I doubt I’ll be ready, but the universe doesn’t care. Always forward motion, I do my best to prepare.
the well lit blue sky
as summer’s glory descends
birds sing from the trees
morning glory
graceful vines
rainy summer morn
violet vibrance
boldness of life shining forth
forgotten too soon
gravity’s demand
even the sun can’t resist
calmness comes with night
call of summer light
feeding of vigorous life
ready for fresh rains
