Haiku to you Thursday: “Pilgrim”

Pilgrims

Nature’s first pilgrims, /

flowing along each Iris,

raindrops find no homes.

Absence

April brings Iris blooms, /

reminders of your work here /

and your absence now.

“Memories”

Memories

Memories are blades /

carving longing from the heart, /

leaving sorrow’s sting.

“Cauldron”

Cauldron

Through the evening sky, /

without wings, these cauldrons fly, /

roiling, rumbling by.

Falls

April water falls /

on the falls of the Iris, /

flowing into veins.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Pieces”

Pieces

A piece of pie /

and a haircut; your fingers /

molding crust and cuts.

“One”

One

There is always one /

holding on to yesterday. /

Sour grapes for sweet dreams.

“Ripe”

Ripe

New, green, and forming, /

blueberries grow with the spring, /

creating ripe tastes.
