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)
Catkins burst
Before the heat
Still spring
No more dances
Around the sun
She is now
Back to stardust
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #185: Heavens
Man made heavens
A meretricious imitation
To trees covered in birdsong
Don’t get me wrong, I am in awe of the human capability to create beautiful art, but nothing compares to the cosmos which is what inspires our art in the first place. Waking up under a canopy of trees by a birdsong alarm is my idea of heaven (even if my old back is stiff from sleeping on the ground).
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #185: Heavens
With morning’s first light
Overflowing abundance
Her cup filled with dew
Everyday struggles
The disconnect from nature
Restored by a camp
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #184: Dis Connect
You reached for my hand
As shadows elongated
Sunset lullaby
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #182: Shadow
Night
Creatures ball
As spring rains
Fall upon the earth
Worms
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #181: Night
Crowds in search of sun
Haze of the morning after
Another spring break
