Fireflies alight
On spotted magic mushrooms
Night faerie lighthouse

Spinning Yarns
Waxing and waning
Rhythm of spinning a yarn
All in a day’s work

Pipe Dream
Rhythmic
Roaring pierces
Sweltering summer air
Bitsy frog slyly smiles
Rrrrribbit
In response to the prompt Hidden Treasures @fromthe lighthouse
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
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #192: Eyes and inspired by Carpe Diem Haiku Kai: Carpe Diem Weekend Meditation #90 Crossroads … Summer Solstice (Troiku Hineri)
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
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #190: Before
Quiet
As I sit in your quiet house
A lifetime of memories haunt me
Sweet snippets of laughter play
A flickering old movie reel
Until the film finally runs out
Celluloid flapping against metal
Jolts me back to reality
Past relationships lost to time
Unwilling to mask my sorrow
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #188: Mask and #189: Quiet
