Death and the flower

Work done, beauty made. /

To rest in summer’s wonder. /

Death and the flower.

Evening summer starts /

Sunlight shadows sunflowers. /

Cicadas sing dusk.

Leaf

Return to the Earth /

All that was once bright and green. /

Death nibbles at noon.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Turn over”

Turn over

Cat looks up; you down. /

Ground is the sky is the ground. /

Stardust at your feet.

Hanging

Some mornings don’t work. /
You try your best to succeed /
But you can’t hang on.

Haiku and photo: “Front yard follies”

Front yard follies

On a sunny day /

The hackberry branch breaks away. /

Nature splits the way.

Haiku and photo: “Work day”

Work day

Bee has no time clock. /

Only sun, life, instinct, work. /

Grace in the effort.
