Haiku and photo: “Active”

Active

Active head rest /

Surely, the car makes a jest. /

I laugh as air bag crests.

Haiku and photo: “Odds and Ends”

Odds and ends

Stray cat, tame flowers. /

February spring, March hours. /

Love now, storm glowers.

Color

The daffodils and /

orchid bloom in the window. /

Light stained with color.

Haiku to you Thursday (and photo): “Thieves”

Thieves

A thousand thieves may /

rip the jonquils from the ground /

but they can’t steal Spring.

Spring

You came unannounced. /

Arising quickly in March. /

Blooms and promises.

Haiku and photo: “Shadows and color”

Shadows and colors

Sunlight sits on cap /

Lying in quiet repose /

Waiting to turn heads.

Haiku and photo: “Outside”

Outside

Outside the window /

Monsters of winter still cling. /

Dry leaves whispering.

Haiku and photo: “An opening”

An opening

An open mind learns.

An open heart compasses.

An open book starts.

Haiku and photo: “Bare limbs”

Bare limbs

Bare limbs cannot catch /

The falling sun, yet they hold /

Winter’s fading grip.

Haiku and Photo: “My name”

My name

I am not Stanley. /

Why does she call me bad names? /

I call her Gertrude.
