Haiku to you Thursday: “Wit”

Wit

Wit is like a screw: /

biting enough to grab hold, /

tight enough to stay.

“To pluck is…”

To pluck is…

Breathe softly the scent. /

Flowers remind you to let go. /

To pluck is to forget.

“Grasp”

Spring in February. Cocuses and daffodils. Purple and yellow. #022418

Grasp

Oppressing hands grasp /

through fear and not respect. /

Blooms still share beauty.

“Fidgety”

Fidgety

In my pajamas,

fidgety beneath the moon.

Both of us are full.

Image

Vine, bent by ice, /

image of a leaf still green, /

cold unbent by light.

“Four swans”

Four swans

Four swans in the snow. /

Haloed white on lichened stone. /

Unmoved and unmoving.

Flag

Shinning in the sun, /

lifted by a light wind, /

may it still hold hope.
