petals briefly in the sun
then fading earthwards

A Haiku Response To Fandango’s One-Word Challenge
Today’s prompt is “elevate”. I’ve been thinking about birds today, so here is my contribution.
still beneath the clouds birds dancing upon the wind elevate spirits
Morning Glory
morning glory
rising to meet the dawn
within my garden
Forgotten Raindrops
petal's graceful arc
as the sunlight passes through
forgotten raindrops
After the Rain
after the rain
a single blossom
sunlight returns
Summer Bees
glories of summer
dancing upon these petals
always seeking grace
The Delight Of Bees
summer breezes
the delight of bees
and hummingbirds
Early morning
dawn drifts through the trees
gently rousing the songbirds
early morning dew
June evening thoughts
Laying here in bed, recovering. I, like so many others, have fallen to covid’s cruelty. Fortunately for me, the effects have been relatively minor. Extreme fatigue, a steady cough, intense congestion remain. Yesterday’s fever subsided this morning, along with the throat so sore swallowing was painful.
summer heat fades
a breeze bringing relief
windchimes sing
A fever during 90 degree heat…added unpleasantries. Today’s much cooler weather granted deep relief. I’m grateful.
so much cruelty
fury trafficked rage
politics of pain
With all the recent news, I feel sadness. Will this society heal? What will rise from these ashes? Is there any beauty left?
I wonder.
The Joy Of A Rose
the joy of a rose
beside the white, picket fence
greeting summertime
