See

Do you still see me /

and think you are gone?

“Bread”

Bread

Life lives in moments; /

some of them in the kitchen /

baking bread.

Feathered bully

Away from the food! /

One rock dove shoves another: /

Blue dove guards the seed. /

Red cardinal wants his turn, /

“Old North Knoxville Gothic”

Old North Knoxville Gothic

Saturday, April 29, 2017.

Warm weather, yard work.

Lawn mowers thrumming, voices grumbling,

rakes gargling across the soil,

and heat radiating like a harsh smile.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Sky”

Sky

Spring sky at the Y, /

blue to the naked eye. /

Wisps of white sail by.
