Haiku to you Thursday: “Home”

Home

Home is on our backs: /

carried and carrying, /

burden and promise.

Haiku to you Thursday, “Each”

Each

Each Spring ends too soon. /

Each Iris blooms but briefly. /

Each bloom, timeless joy.

Anoint

Paper wasp climbs /

a white Iris fall, anoints /

spring in your garden.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Flag”

Flag

Wind whips, flag flaps, /

gray clouds bumble, tumble, rumble. /

Rain leaves empty eyes.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Yesterdays”

Yesterdays

The snows of the past /

glaze into the ice of now, /

then leave us alone.

“I am”

I am

I am a bird,

made of star stuff.

To the Phoenix, I return.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Facade”

Facade

Once a building, now /

reclaimed by leaves and lichen, /

glistened by the rain.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Grabbing”

Grabbing

Bare limbs grab at Moon, /

fingers clutching through night fog. /

My ghost escapes hope.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Up”

Up

Up, beyond dark clouds, /

flows a sky of supple blue, /

and glimpses of you.
