Rain

Rain hits the petals /

while anthers still beckon bees. /

The lily endures.

One sunflower dies. /

Others struggle to be born. /

The stalk supports both.

“Bowed”

Bowed

Discarded seed husks /

litter the sunflower’s back, /

its face bowed earthward.

Disc florets

Within the one, many. /

Disc florets bloom and then seed. /

New sunflowers loom.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Space”

Space

Physical and mental,

bruised with color, words, and shapes,

walls contour your space.
