Haiku to you Thursday: “Strive”

Strive

Strive to arrive /

at the Rule of 95 /

where ice cream thrives.

“Face”

Face

Face in the tree. /

Portent or pretending? /

Does it speak to thee?

“Kerfuffle”

Kerfuffle

Wings wide, day unfolds, /

seeds attract a rowdy flock. /

Morning kerfuffle.

“Obscured”

Obscured

Moon obscured on high, /

passing through the August sky /

clouds veil, then goodbye. /

“Morning”

Morning

Slow snails, fast ants /

August dawn turns morning. /

Sunlight brings forth shade.

“August”

August

Ah, crap, August comes /

And I feel so incredibly dumb. /

I had plans to do so much, /

Now they lay piled, an incomplete bunch. /

I planned to travel, to go far, /

But did not make it beyond my car /

And to the chores that needed doing /

That had been brewing and chewing /

Up all my time /

Until the world sublime /

Has moved to August as it now stands /

School and promises hand in hand. /

Maybe next year I’ll visit a museum /

And to libraries — well, I can still go see them. /

Maybe check out a book and make plans /

To go, next May, to some far off lands.

“Work day”

Work day

Bee has no time clock. /

Only sun, life, instinct, work. /

Grace in the effort.

“Leaf”

Leaf

With one fallen leaf, /

fall hints at its arrival. /

Summer’s fullness ends.

Common sunflower, /

uncommon summer heat. /

Home is hard to leave.
