Delicate petals
Open in the morning sun
Beacons for a bee

Evenfall
Deep summer
The first night
Of singing locusts
Night Faeries
Fireflies alight
On spotted magic mushrooms
Night faerie lighthouse
In response to @fromthelighthouse prompt Lighthouse and Fireflies
Spinning Yarns
Waxing and waning
Rhythm of spinning a yarn
All in a day’s work

Space Needle
Piquant petals
Pierced through an ardent needle
Thrust into heavens
I love the dichotomy between these two wondrous expressions of art. The cold straight steel of the Seattle Space Needle in comparison to the fragile fluid glass of Chihuly. Both are magnificent landmarks in their own rights.

Solstice
This summer solstice
Golden sun’s prodigious eye
Aligns with flowers

Spring
Catkins burst
Before the heat
Still spring
After
Mirage of trees
Shimmer in reflection
Cold hard glass
Spiritless crow
Adorning the sidewalk
Window strike
The unfortunate demise of this crow gave me an opportunity to appreciate for a moment the beautiful fragility of its being. What a privilege to hold such a captivating creature before it is rendered back to dust and a poignant reminder that in a mere instant, the miracle of being can be extinguished.

Before
Acrid ozone
Before spring rain
Washed my tears

Mother’s Day
Feeling vulnerable
The constant Mother’s Day ads
A new perspective
