“Tadpole”
Dark tails fluttering,
hunting for nibbles of food
in a sun-warmed pond.

Haiku Sunday – Animalcule
“Animalcule”
Sub-visual realms,
microscopic empires,
a new universe.

Haiku Sunday – Miss
“Miss”
Mid-week work shake-up,
hours blended into a blur,
confusing my days.

Haiku Sunday – Buttercup
“Buttercup”
Little yellow sprouts
polka-dotting field of green,
to brush little feet.

Haiku Sunday – Park
“Park”
Overcast drizzle,
enough to turn away crowds,
for our own park day.

Haiku Sunday – Ramp
“Ramp”
Miniature hill,
a mountain for toddler feet,
running up and down.

Haiku Sunday – Sore
“Sore”
Wake on the wrong side,
spend weekend recovering
from everyday life.

Haiku Sunday – Damp
“Damp”
Moss clings, sodden trees,
drooping grass, muted rustles,
damp feet tramp and stomp.

Haiku Sunday – Shorn
“Shorn”
Pollinator field
trimmed to roots and bare patches,
sacrificial lawn.

Haiku Sunday – Pale
“Pale”
Airy blue pallor.
Wan sunlit afternoon sky.
Winter’s feeble grasp.
