Ditch lily frilly. /
White hydrangea pillowy. /
Summer blooms silly.

Stench
Stench of a trash can /
left open in the alley — /
Voodoo lily blooms.

Rain hits the petals /
while anthers still beckon bees. /
The lily endures.

“No return”
No return
It feels good, Beth said. /
She snapped off dead lily heads, /
dropped them to the ground. /
This evening, I did the same, /
but she did not return.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Late arrival”
Late arrival
A stray day lily /
Yellow in the August heat /
Fashionably late.
