Arise

Arise fair, noble sun. /

Light within me the folded /

Promise yet foretold.

But, first…

The Solstice has passed. /

Let us now speak of Summer. /

But, first, let us nap.

Haiku and photo: “Cane and me”

Cane and me

Substance or shadow, /

Science or superstition, /

Love’s dark truth, Hate’s light?

Haiku and photo: “The music”

The music

I see a cello /

And maybe three violins. /

Flowering music.

Stepping stones

Petals in morning. /

White stepping stones to the sun. /

Light and shadows climb.

Vacation

Summer clouds to sky /

Sand to beach, water to sea /

Embrace your beauty.

Haiku and photo: “Across the face”

Across the face

Bee collects pollen /

Across the sunflower’s face. /

Heat is time rising.

Haiku and photo: “Walk on the wild side”

Walk on the wild side

Walking sometimes wins /

Even when feathers offer flight. /

A Daedalus day.

Beauty

A flower’s beauty /

is built on moments of work. /

Kindness upon toil.
