Peonies

Expressive flower /

Reaching out, a dying star /

Shedding bright beauty.

Mind’s eye

Shadows and daylight /

Peonies effuse with white /

Shades of the mind’s eye.

Folded beauty

The folded beauty /

Of fading flower petals /

Ends not Spring’s bloom.

“Purple Iris”

Purple Iris

Petals up and down /

Shining in the sun’s pleasure /

Bright beard on curled tongue.

Shadows and colors

Sunlight sits on cap /

Lying in quiet repose /

Waiting to turn heads.

Haiku and photo: “Night visitor”

Night visitor

Ancient face abounds;

Deep into the night it shines.

See in darkness home.

Legacy

Clouds and shadows painted /

With tints of winter sunlight. /

Bare limbs full of gray.
