Haiku 23

When smoke blocked the sun

and the grey skies were dreary

my sunflower bloomed

It’s a relief to see some blue sky again after the oppressive days of smoke. Best wishes to all who are suffering because of the wildfires. I hope the rain will also wash away your somber skies and bring back the sun! 🌞

Feathery pinwheels–

if we look the other way,

will they start to dance?

“Always” and “never”–

are there any other words

which cause so much pain?

Bare New Year’s branches

Bereft of last year’s splendour

Grasp the grisly sky

Some days are crazy

but flowers bloom, stars shine

and the baby smiles.

Bernadette

She tore through Paris

lighting up the street corners

with her flashing smile

A haiku for my buddy Bernadette, and her sister Lucy, too, who are bringing some real Canadian warmth to good ol’ Paris!

Thanks to getdrawings.com for this pretty picture! 🙂

Quiet pink crescents

Quiet pink crescents

Flutter against blue sky

Joy in a soft breeze

Of course it would be

the day cleaners came and mopped

that pickle juice spilled

That’s life, Mom!

Dry corn stalks stick up–

the skeleton of summer

revealing past warmth.

There is nothing like

strolling in sweet solitude

shortly before dusk
