Rebirth
Rescued from the fall, /
sunflowers thrive in the vase. /
Summer storm rebirth.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Lily now”
Lily now
Yellow like sunlight, /
shadows like the fading moon. /
Lily now; lost too soon.

“Viewpoint”
Viewpoint
From a dog’s viewpoint, /
one dog to another,
summer is a rose.

“Tilt”
Tilt
Do you run like Mercury? /
Straight arrow to the end? /
Is you love like Venus? /
Head over heals to begin? /
Are you a quarter way over, /
Mars tilted into battle? /
Or are you Uranus, /
Cockeyed like a rattle? /
Jupiter tilts only slightly /
As the mighty often do. /
Saturn, Neptune, and Ol’ Earth /
Bend as if they’ve had a few, /
Hanging out with Mars, /
Swapping stories, one or two. /
All the planets have stories /
And each an angle of repose. /
That includes Pluto, to whom /
Some have turned up their collective nose.

“Skirt”
Skirt
Iris rise from dark soil, /
dress in a skirt of May rain, /
bloom and fall from light.

“Give ‘em”
Extended magazine of inaction.
Give ‘em.
Give ’em a gun; give ’em a Bible. /
Watch as they turn and go tribal. /
“An Act of God,” is their refrain /
as the children cry out in pain.

“Veining”
Veining
Veining across the wall /
shadows of a struggling plant, /
weaving toward Spring’s heart.

“Cup”
Cup
Rain fills the footsteps. /
Water fills the gray days /
and molds winter’s cup.

“Touch”
Touch
Not so long ago, /
morning light saw frosted leaves /
holding winter’s touch.
