Evening summer starts /

Sunlight shadows sunflowers. /

“Beauty”

Beauty

Their blossoms fleeting, /

sunflowers live briefly; yet, /

their beauty transcends.

August light

Burnt red sunflower /

hangs its heavy summer head /

in the August light.

Fall is dropping hints. /

Yellow, brown, red, orange notes. /

Haiku to you Thursday: “Bent”

Bent

The bent wire points to /

misplaced expectation. /

Something did not stay.

“Plays”

Plays

Time plays with shadows,

with colors, with empty nights,

with hands forgetting.
