Graveyard

Do not wrong the dead. /

The graveyard is full of fools /

who in life found none.

“Balance”

Balance

Life is a balance /

along a picket fence — /

one step at a time.

This day

Part of the morning. /

Thoughts of another’s life. /

His moment or mine?

Photo finish Friday: “Even”

Even

From the root of death /

life blooms, maybe foolishly, /

but never in doubt.

“Life begins”

Life begins

Blueberries obscured. /

Unfolding with each moment. /

Gracing the future.

“Breeze”

Breeze

Life for all its faults /

Hangs like a Spring water drop — /

Waits for a freeing breeze.

“Life”

Life

Mushrooms grow on death, /

turning a lifeless tree trunk /

Into life support.

Haiku and photo: “Solstice”

Solstice

Winter loves slowly. /

Its long shadows stretch like life /

compactly marooned.
