Dapple
Dappled light and shade /
scatter across the young cat /
soundlessly rippling.

Photo finish Friday: “Knots”
Knots
The fierce rain falls, /
then the Gordian clouds part. /
Knots untied in the sky.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Bespeckled”
Bespeckled
Bespeckled by rain, /
bright asiatic lilies /
shine like yellow suns.

“True love”
True love
It was not true love. /
I lost my head for spinach. /
Olive, please forgive.

Darkness
What of the darkness /
do you see? Finding the light, /
can there be, you and me?

VBS signs bloom, /
weeding out the heathens. /
Oh, Summer, I’m one.

“Momentarily”
Momentarily
Red among the green, /
the cardinal grips a limb — /
momentarily.

“Looking”
Looking
Looking into space /
Searching for an answer. /
Can this human race /
Get beyond this cancer? /
Or is it “me in first place, /
Always and like a prancer”? /
Will this selfish attitude erase /
The noble side of the stance here? /
Will some alien race /
One day find we did not care? /
That it is only about OUR space /
With no desire to share? /
I watch this selfish prancing /
And try only to observe. /
This deep and destructive dancing /
Could be the end of the human herd. /
If someday out in space /
Mankind should be among the stars /
It will be because this race /
First escaped its niggardly bars. /
The world will only see us nobly /
If at first we are. /
Then we can go forth boldly /
And reach beyond the stars.

Sweet pea
The iris have peaked, /
the day lilies yet to bloom, /
the sweet pea shines.

“Thunderhead”
Thunderhead
Thunderhead in the sky /
I watch you blithely float by. /
Why no rain? Say why.
