Photo finish Friday (and haiku): “Protesters in the rain”

Remember your heart

when you take your mind and storms

for a rainy walk.

Photo finish (and poem) Friday: “Rain”

Rain and rising water

As I sit out in the rain /

Pondering life all the same /

A pond appeared across the way /

Growing larger and larger throughout the day /

Until the time when night fell /

And I could not tell land from water very well. /

But as the sun rose, I will vouchsafe, /

It’s no fun being in a watery grave.

Photo finish Friday: “Closer look”

After the summer rain /
Lily,  wet on her petals, /
drips again, renewed.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Ego”

My ego tumbles /

among autumn rain and mud /

waiting for spring flowers.

Photo finish Friday: “Flower power”

After a summer rain, its anthers covered in pollen and filaments opening up, this day lily strives toward renewed life.

Photo finish Friday: “Blooming”

Reaching toward the future.

Reaching toward the future /

raindrops reflect the present /

while seeds crack the past.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Alms”

Lawnmowers silenced /

Crippled grass cries out for rain: /

alms for the parched Earth.

Photo finish Friday: “Holly’s”

It was a cool, rainy day down at Holly's Corner.

It was a cool, rainy day down at Holly’s Corner.

It was a cool, rainy day down at Holly’s Corner. Not quite a dark and stormy night, but close enough to encourage you to stop in something to eat and a bit of warmth. I was just about to step inside when a white car eased up tot he corner of Fulton and N. Central. I didn’t like the look of the car and I liked less the look of the person behind the wheel.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Now there is”

And now there is rain /

The boom of thunder echoing /

Your name in my heart.
