Haiku and photo: “Water flower”

Water flower

White Iris petals /

Folded by the falling Spring /

Rise to catch the rain.

Haiku and photo: “Breeze”

Breeze

Life for all its faults /

Hangs like a Spring water drop — /

Waits for a freeing breeze.

Haiku and photo: “Bridge”

Bridge

Feel the foot bridge sway. /

Swollen creek rushes your way. /

Your ears do not stray.

Haiku and photo: “Water bubbles”

Water bubbles

Upon the Spring petals /

New raindrops run and dangle, /

Nourishing old hopes.

Haiku to you Thursday (and photo): “Frozen”

Frozen

Not so long ago, /

Nature’s life blood arrested. /

Locked in winter’s ice.

“A sip” haiku and photo

A sip

Some cats sip at bowl.

Some cats are on hot tin roof.

Reflecting on thirst.

Photo finish (and poem) Friday: “Rain”

Rain and rising water
Photo courtesy of Chris Buice

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: “Sun shine”

The sun, the water, the sky.

The sun, the water, the sky.

Photo finish Friday: “Bridge to nowhere”

Another wrong turn.

Another wrong turn.

She came down to the bridge to end it all, to jump off into the cold March waters. To feel her weight and the weight of her burdens become weightless as the water lapped over her in one last shivering embrace. Then she saw that the bridge was closed. The pylons and arches were there, but the platform was gone. There was nowhere to jump from. She sighed. It was just another in all the wrong turns in her life, and like all the others, she would just have to learn to live with it.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Water falling down”

Water falling down, /
stumbling over the moment, /
my heart lands in tears.
