A Saturday rain.

Quixotic

Young sunflower tries — /

facing winter’s stern shadow — /

to grow and thrive.

Travels of the mind.

Two haiku / one photo

Moments

Moment to moment, /

decide or do not decide. /

Faceless choices near.

.

.

First

First, they take your face. /

Next, your body is product. /

Then, you are no more.

Fortune

Fuzzy bath fortune /

Or slip in the tub.

From a tree at the /
