Yearning

Earth’s Moon hanging high /

bright light in the cold night sky /

we, in yearning, try.

Haiku and photo: “Hope for the creek”

Hope for the creek

The Hail Mary here /

Is neither pass nor prayer /

But hope for the creek.

Haiku and photo: “Purple Iris”

Purple Iris

Petals up and down /

Shining in the sun’s pleasure /

Bright beard on curled tongue.

Haiku and photo: “Water flower”

Water flower

White Iris petals /

Folded by the falling Spring /

Rise to catch the rain.

Photo and haiku: “Lacewing”

Lacewing

Translucent lacewing, /

Benefits not from the sun. /

Four weeks, a pale life.

Haiku and photo: “Recycling”

Recycling

Flames bloom like wildflowers /

Neighbors sprout masks, recycle air. /

Toxic smoke rains down.

Haiku and photo: “Objects”

Objects

Gathering objects /

Scattered and forgotten /

Spring and beauty found.

Haiku and photo: “Temple”

Temple

I am a temple /

Crumbling and ancient curses /

Food-haunted body.
