on this, the longest day
she flits from flower to flower –
with the butterfly bush,
she takes her time

Change – A Tanka
on the face of it
change sneaks around the corner
taking hold like vines
surging for the summer sun –
securing it’s space in time

bird’s-foot trefoil
Love that name. We met in the park yesterday while I was on my mask-wearing-social-distancing walk.

Setting Sun
a brilliant sheen
on calm waters of the bay –
gift of setting sun

Meadow

a moth’s aflutter
zig zags, a cantankerous
mocking bird in tow
as they head to the meadow
gap closes, this will not end well

For Frank Tassone’s Weekly Haikai Challenge..poet’s choice. I used “Meadow”
A Sliver of Light
unlikely voices sharing
balls up off the floor, somewhat
are we on the verge
of getting the emperor clothed!

Lily -Flower of the Day #FOTD
Flower of the Day FOTD – Peony
A Rainbow
this cloud lurking overhead
has claimed me
it snuggles in
displacing the thread of hope
I’ve been holding fast to
it flits in the breeze of the blues
swishing through my fingers
at every grasp
I force myself into the garden
it looks thirsty
I turn on the garden hose
and there through the fine sprays
a rainbow
