yesterday yesterday
was the day of the hawks--
three sightings | a swift a swift
with a blue iridescence--
flies along the lake |
salute salute
to everyone's dreams and wishes
Mayday | went from nest went from nest
gathering to baby care--
backyard robins |
dreamcatcher dreamcatcher
on my car's mirror--
catches daydreams | a woman a woman
and her dog
sauntering and exploring |
the goslings the goslings
with their half-grown molt
Delia Lake | a monarch a monarch
and a warm sun--
heals the soul |
ibis ibis
wading and fishing--
all day | breathing deep breathing deep
the late spring day
Delia Park |
breezes breezes
mellow the afternoon sun
paradise | old men old men
playing cards in the sun
healthy |
two swallows two swallows
playing through the sun
a May afternoon | distant faces distant faces
seen all over early spring--
pansies |
drizzle drizzle drop drizzle drizzle drop
spatter splash plop boom boom drop
thunderstorm | halfway halfway
through the month
over the moon |
raindrops raindrops
fresh on iris leaves
reflections | distant early warning distant early warning
a train whistle miles away
late night |
kindle welcome kindle welcome
many haiku in one small space
technology | another year another year
of the lilac festival come and gone--
Mackinac Island |
old men old men
socialize under an open park shelter
every day | white sailboats white
sailboats on a quiet lake
quite a sight! |
a bluebird a bluebird
lands in a white ash tree--
almost missed | listen to men listen to men
with their model sailboats--
"I have a tape measure here if you want it" |
old couple old couple
come to lake often in their van
shared solitude | ibis ibis
flies to other side of lake
girls walking |
yellow finch yellow finch
flies for cover of trees
red-tailed hawk | red-tailed hawk red-tailed hawk
flies swift after prey
full wing span |
red-tailed hawk red-tailed hawk
spotted at Delia Lake
rare sighting | roadside honeysuckle roadside honeysuckle
imagine the sweet fragrance
sun day |
tiny blossoms tiny blossoms
a rare Mother Mary blue
mystery | spring blossoms spring blossoms
from explosion to few
late spring |
first Monarch sighting first Monarch sighting
on mother's day in the afternoon
perfect gift | faithful redwing faithful redwing
adds a dash of red this day
Sunday afternoon |
even the flight even the flight
of a common white butterfly
holds beauty this spring | young cottonwood leaves young cottonwood leaves
catch gold in the mid-day breeze
spring at Delia Park |
ibis wades ibis wades
on the other side
Delia Lake | awoke to birdsong 4AM awoke to birdsong 4AM
noon and still enjoying birdsong
spring break |
no breeze no breeze
to lighten mid-day heat
late spring | rain rain
deepens the green
mother's day |
|
