A Haiku Inspired Year

Wind — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 01:18:07 +0000

inside and outside
blankets
one warms – one freezes

rustling the surface
roots yawn
turning

thirst for Spring
drink the dew
prostrate ~

green again!
worms work…
giggling

hope is planted…
head and heart /
weeding ~

paradise warms
by noon…
blooming

glimpsing fruition
plucking cycles
crisp !

upon us
golden light
investing ~

baskets full
the wells are low
change strikes ~

10:

ready?
frost whispers…

11:

silence seasons
resilience

12:

only deer moves
through the window
gazing

Blue

Wind — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 00:23:49 +0000

blue sun
singing flight
first nest

after a winter in the rainforest, some blue sky in the early spring feels elating.

Mountains

Wind — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 00:15:56 +0000

mountains before the eye
colossal collision forms
long era of calm

…

bald mountain witness
forehead lined with icy veins
unflinching wisdom

wind storms howl low
wild primordial echoes
pushing men to pray

Red currents

black and red currents
a basket topples
her empty lap

Tiger Lilies

against
the momentum of conditioning

Frog

jumping with a squeal
robin spots a worm

Garden Gate

garden gate…
treefrog in the distance
cool summer starts -
