Wheel of time spinning
Autumn around the corner
Deciduous renascence

Loss
Loss
The transformation
Of becoming another
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #199: Loss
Beacons
Delicate petals
Open in the morning sun
Beacons for a bee
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #198: Beacons
Father
You and I always seemed to be
On the opposite sides of a bridge
Neither able to cross without it swinging wildly
Tension thick as humid gulf air
Impatience and disappointment our love language
You and I alike in so many ways
So sensitive we each tried to bite first
Both with a stubborn shell of protection
Curiosity for life’s most enigmatic questions our common ground
With expectations released, forgiveness our final passage
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #197: Fathers
Island
Once upon a time
We came across a waterfall
Hidden deep in the woods
Where we splashed and played
Like giddy children
In the argent liquid pools
And let the cool mist
Spray diamonds in our hair
Our warm embrace
A safe haven
As if the whole world
Was just this place
At just this time
Our own private island

Spinning Yarns
Waxing and waning
Rhythm of spinning a yarn
All in a day’s work
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and Word Challenge #195: 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
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)
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
