Spring Rain

as peony leaves

tote shiny beads of spring rain

ants relish reward

Little Things

Stomping through puddles

in my Sunday best

Sailing paper boats

in rain puddles.

Lessons on the smell of rain

“Smell that?”, she’d ask.

When the first plopping raindrops

hit parched soil.

Time taken for the little things,

never a bother

to my warrior mother.

Autumn Rain

last bloom of my red rose

undaunted by this cold wet day –

a steady autumn rain

Drip

the drip, drip
from the eaves
leftover rhythm from the rain

Morning Rain

 This Japanese Maple was started from a seedling two years ago. It’s still in a pot and is about a foot tall. Doing well!

morning rain
falls on the baby maple
the leaves dance

I wake
to the sound of rain
this morning

Rain

fallen leaves set sail
as rain water roars down the drain-
puddles come alive

spring rain
in pothole puddle
a bird bathes

Morning Twittering – Haibun

I spent time in the garden yesterday, a tangled mess. The plotting out of chores always seem easier from the doorway. It was no different this time either. Having started late, I raked a line around the perimeter and sprinkled new shasta daisy seeds ( those things are more like flakes). I forgot to water them. Nature, in the mode of taking care of its own, sent rain this morning.

morning twittering
