from your moments here.

Leaves and lovers

Sunlight and shadow, /

momentarily lovers: /

leaves and trees and time.

Poem and photo: “Rings”

Rings

Onion rings. /

Saturn’s rings. /

Take a bite or two. /

Ice cream cone /

Hanging all alone /

Up there in the blue. /

It’s called Freezo /

But what do we know, /

Except the old is new. /

Stand in line /

Like stars aligned /

Order from the menu.

Pick a treat /

Order complete /

Get some ketchup, too. /

Food in a bag /

Heavy it may sag, /

Until you eat it through.

Haiku and photo: “Breakfast”

Breakfast

Some bees feast among /

Spring flowers and fruit buds. /

Some feast on cat food.

A new day

Hang down; new day up. /

Daylight Savings Time rebuff. /

Eating im-possum-ble.

Demon at my feet /

Spring

You came unannounced. /

Arising quickly in March. /

Blooms and promises.

Haiku and photo: “Bagel”

Bagels

Some bagels are fresh. /

Others are moldy compost /

Rescued for repast.

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

Truth

Digging up answers /

Is just like digging up bones. /

Results we’ll bury.
