a lone maple leaf
rides the wind – in and out of
dappled sunlight we go

Inspired by
the snow has melted
on one shoulder
of the Great Buddha
Shiki
at the sunny side
the snow in the backyard has melted-
snowdrops are blooming
Chèvrefeuille
on the thin line
between day and night
both, moon and sun shine

For Carpe Diem Haiku
Missed the cut off time so thought I’d post it here.
Cathedral of Ice
I was watching a documentary on an under sea expedition in antartica. They were investigating what was causing the demise of the krill, favorite food of whales and other sea life. Divers went under the ice with cameras. The result..a bonus. Described by one immersed in the experience as “under sea cathedrals…”, very appropriately so…
The colors cast onto the ice by daylight was an amazing sight. It looked like the northern lights viewed from under water and ice.
south pole’s under sea
cathedral of ice – steeples
sprinkled with rainbow

Christmas
Taken tonight, Christmas Eve
here in the north east
it’s the night before Christmas
not a snow flake in sight
full moon in dance with the clouds
only show I’ve seen tonight

Merry Christmas to all. And to all who stopped by, said hello, left an impression and graced my writing with words of appreciation – I thank you!

the bush clover, the pampas grass,
walking on through them

barefoot on a summer day

delicate peaks of sand dunes
