Honeysuckle

honeyed memories

reach twining yellow blossoms

warm from grandma’s porch

A Little Walk

hills called me forward

another and another

ever exploring

 

solo adventure

scrambling well off beaten paths

dusk drew nigh, slyly

 

each next summit piques

my need to conquer the next

majestic views ‘wait

 

minutes, well-trodden

morph into worrisome hours

mom never forgets

Rain, Rain…

deafening deluge

drowns out dreary drizzle while

grey gives way to grey

Feeling Squallish

snow squalls, frigid bursts

high velocity vortex

winter’s late hurrah

Exhaustion: Haiku

candle, two ends charred

gutters in midday breeze, nigh

imperceptible

February Haiku

nursing hyetal

hernia, mother nature

bursts through all restraints

Dancing, Unheeded

rogue elephants tap-

dance, trumpeting, ungreeted

in your living room

Timeless Lessons

patience carved a niche

eons gorged sandstone plateau

river flows through time

Last Gasps

serotinal surge

dapples sun through pulsing gusts

leaves whisper goodbye

On the Folly of Gods

leaden skies open

unleash furious torrents

Neptune rages wars
