Haiku and Photos

Another Friday, sunny and warm with storms expected. How quickly the weather changes. Spring is well on her way with only a month left to go. Summer is hot on her heels now. Wednesday I vacuumed out some drawners in postions I have not assumed for over a decade because of my spinal problems. Thursday monring I could barely move the pain was so awful. I see which sets of muscles need to get moving!! This was definitely a call to awareness.

  

     In a Temple Garden

The Old Green Pond is silent.
 Here, the hop of a frog
plumbs the evening silence: Plop!

The downpour prickles on the pond,so sharp
it hits the heads of shallow floating carp.

Winter's end

 

Epitome of Spring

Glimpsed through a crevice in
the garden fence,
one white flower is spring's
impermanence.

   Snow

 All Heaven and Earth Flowered white obliterate...
Snow...unceasing snow
