But, first…

The Solstice has passed. /

Let us now speak of Summer. /

But, first, let us nap.

Haiku and photo: “Cane and me”

Cane and me

Substance or shadow, /

Science or superstition, /

Love’s dark truth, Hate’s light?

Poem and photo: “Into the Earth”

Into the Earth

The stream of color /

the leaves of sound /

the grounding of light /

into the Earth we are bound.

Haiku and photo: “The music”

The music

I see a cello /

And maybe three violins. /

Flowering music.

Haiku and photo: “Stepping stones”

Stepping stones

Petals in morning. /

White stepping stones to the sun. /

Light and shadows climb.

Photo finish Friday: “The Tong Dynasty”

The Tong Dynasty

King Kong and Godzilla met in a kitchen. /

King Kong heard Godzilla wailin’ and bitchin’ . /

“My toast! My toast! I can’t get it out. /

“My toast! My toast! It’s stuck in that snout. /

Every time I reach in sparks fly out. /

Angry it is!” He stomped round about. /

King Kong reached forth with bamboo tongs. /

They grabbed that toast like a pair of thongs. /

Godzilla thank Kong and went on his way. /

Thus, civilization was saved that day.

Vacation

Summer clouds to sky /

Sand to beach, water to sea /

Embrace your beauty.

Haiku and photo: “Across the face”

Across the face

Bee collects pollen /

Across the sunflower’s face. /

Heat is time rising.

Haiku and photo: “Walk on the wild side”

Walk on the wild side

Walking sometimes wins /

Even when feathers offer flight. /

A Daedalus day.

Haiku and photo: “Roundabout light”

Roundabout light

In darkness we take /

a turn in the roundabout. /

Toward the light we give.
