Haiku Sunday – Sea of Life 2
“Sea of Life 2”
Thus is one person;
A mote of dust to an age,
Lost in life’s current.

on the paving slab
a slug’s silvery map
sets off an apricot stone
the Arctic terns have flown south –
late August, alone in a bird hide
sitting in the sun –
a tiny insect crawls across
my poem
godwits drilling the still pond –
ripples in the universe
watching bumble bees spiral into petals
I rub lavender leaves between fingers
releasing scent
but it doesn’t ease
my throbbing head
Color Schemes – Deadlines – JG

Of what never happened because of poor timing. Continue reading “Color Schemes – Deadlines – JG”
Haiku Sunday – Sea of Life
“Sea of Life”
Is a wave mere dust
A speck of foam in the tide
Rolling ever on?

Never just because, always not quite

Shedding red toxic arrows,
And blood stained “will never be”s. Continue reading “Misplaced Missives #192 – Cupid – JG”
Haiku Sunday – Sunrise
“Sunrise”
Soft hues streak the sky
Water glistens silver-gold
The world is yet hushed

Haiku Sunday – Elm
“Elm”
Here will I remain
Soon to tower, life renewed
Under sapling elm.

Haiku Sunday – Road
“Road”
The road winds ahead
But together we may go
Hold my hand a while

I came upon you
A stranger,
Along this walk of mine. Continue reading “For R.L. – SD”
