Haiku and photo: “Wrinkles”

Wrinkles

Blue haired old lady /

Streaks of gray and white abound /

Wrinkles fold Earth’s face.

I deadhead lilies, /

snapping old petals so new /

flowers don’t suffer.

Haiku to you Thursday: “When”

When

When I’m old, I’ll don /

a lavender sheet and stand /

in my cold decline.
