Haiku and photo: “Reflection”

Reflection

Do we fret and strut /

Our hour upon the stage then /

Leave unreflected?

Vacation

Summer clouds to sky /

Sand to beach, water to sea /

Embrace your beauty.

Bee at peace

Rest in my window. /

Recumbent under glass. /

Cryptic bee at peace.

Donut Do not

Raccoon’s arrival. /

Donut know he’s being watched. /

Sweet Spring on a string.

Tall tale

The gravedigger says, /

As his needling wife’s unearthed, /

“It’s all a big yarn.”

Haiku and photo: “Fall apart”

Fall apart

Stand up; fall apart. /

Brain pops out, as does the heart. /

Night comes; we restart.

Haiku and photo: “Water flower”

Water flower

White Iris petals /

Folded by the falling Spring /

Rise to catch the rain.

Haiku and photo: “Recycling”

Recycling

Flames bloom like wildflowers /

Neighbors sprout masks, recycle air. /

Toxic smoke rains down.

Haiku and photo: “Temple”

Temple

I am a temple /

Crumbling and ancient curses /

Food-haunted body.
