Slowly
Slowly in August /
the petals fall and then wants /
and needs are one.

“Hide”
Hide
Fragile and sun-bleached, /
petals of the sunflower /
hide the predator.

Photo finish Friday: “Life”
Life
Do flowers lament /
as they die or do they laugh /
with life’s transience?

Haiku to you Thursday “Raspberry”
Raspberries
Collected at dusk, /
raspberries in an old cap, /
makeshift evening food.

“Latte-dah”
Latte-dah
Summer is over, so Starbucks declares, /
bringing forth their fall pumpkin wares. /
Temperatures still roiling across the US. /
When they will break is anybody’s guess. /
Hurricanes hit California and other coasts, /
but Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Latte Starbucks boasts. /
It may be 69 days until Halloween /
but this declaration seems self-serving and a bit obscene.

“Reclaim”
Reclaim
Up through the asphalt, /
the common sow thistle grows, /
reclaiming its home.

“Stops”
Stops
Abandoned portals: /
memories echo, dust stirs, /
footsteps lead to wind.

“Ghost”
Ghost
Is death life’s ghost or /
is life’s impermanence /
the ghost of death?

“Echoes”
Echoes
Flowers do not scream /
when they die, but their beauty /
echoes with the bees.

“Eyes”
Eyes
Eyes on the flower, /
a triangular face turns /
and we both ponder.
