Haiku- Spring 2015

days widen,
sensed first by the cat
so beyond me

crocus petals-

rays of a sun within

forgotten colors

an ancient warmth

from effortless hours

of determined sun

puppy
on a frayed leash-
first love

about black tulips,

deepened rain

chutes in the rills

lone distances

lost to horizons

with songbirds

winded breath

in young and old both-

falling cherry petals

a warm mist rising

after an all day rain,

is letting go

lost threads of rain

found in the gravity

defiance of green

oh to fall 

into the passerine

smile of a cloud

coat of green pollen

on a barbecue smoker-

strange woes of spring

candy wrapper

in a patch of weeds

aside of flowers

new moon-

humid magnolia

only for now
