“Back down”

Back down

Back down to the floor. /

Heart upward toward the ceiling. /

Belly scratch ready.

“Broken”

Broken

Broken objects can /

not break treasured memories /

embraced in the heart.

“Holding”

Holding

Sunflowers live, then /

sunflowers die, each bloom holds /

life’s brief monument.

Heat

Squirrel prostrated /

By the heat: flaccid, empty, /

Victim indiscrete.

Haiku and photo: “Work day”

Work day

Bee has no time clock. /

Only sun, life, instinct, work. /

Grace in the effort.

Taste is Summer

Dance, proboscis, dance.

Nectar of the cone flower

sways with your summer.

Out there

Out there is in here. /

Rain, turmoil, thunder, lightning /

Pain, grief, love, release.

Haiku and photo: “The sky”

The sky

The clouds above me /

Form around a dust whisper /

Cry into the night.

Haiku and photo: “Tune”

Tune

A thousand gray clouds /

can be banished from the sky /

humming your own tune.
