Yearning

Earth’s Moon hanging high /

bright light in the cold night sky /

we, in yearning, try.

Photo finish Friday: “Hearing”

Hearing

Rain is deaf to me. /

It hears me not as it clatters /

against your rose.

“Hope for the creek”

Hope for the creek

The Hail Mary here /

Is neither pass nor prayer /

But hope for the creek.

Purple Iris

Petals up and down /

Shining in the sun’s pleasure /

Bright beard on curled tongue.

The Park

Spring strolls through the park. /

Shaking green from her sleeves and /

Color from her eyes.

Haiku to you Thursday, “Each”

Each

Each Spring ends too soon. /

Each Iris blooms but briefly. /

Each bloom, timeless joy.
