Dressing for the Holidays

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 02:59:13 +0100

Like gifts appearing under the tree,
Christmas surprises are everywhere;
wreaths on lamp posts,
swags across Main Street,
icicle lights lining Market Square;
town begins to glitter and shine,
dressing for the holidays.

crinkled edges

a rose
as lovely
even in its dyings

Small Town

small town
downtown
sleepy streets
sidewalks sweep
the day
away

Halloween Haiku

painted hay bale
jack-o-lantern greeting
Halloween hello

Happy Harvest

Round and bald and
double-chinned,
pumpkins grin from
stem to stem.

Rocks

tumbled and gray
the worries of life
bury me

Ladybug

ladybug lives
life from leaf
to leaf

Raindrops

Sun, 04 Oct 2009 21:14:05 +0100

linger on leafy lips
in large
delicious drips,
greening gulps of
rain roll to
thirsting roots
below

Blue-Eyed Dog

on the porch
a dog waits

one eye earth
one eye sky

both eyes await
their Master's
return

Yellow Weed Flower

God creates beauty even
in a weed; before it wreaks
havoc, a plea for mercy.
