Prompt: Write a haiku about the moon, stars, or space. (Haiku #75)
a silver presence
ocean wave, and wave, and wave
reflections of dreams
This side of the moon
The brighter side that I see
Lighting up my nights
Armstrong’s small footprint
Lit with silver and shadow
Do wolves howl in space?
Prompt: Write a haiku about the Lily of the Valley or another flower. (Haiku #76)
Flower of my birth
The Lily of the Valley
Scented poison. Me?
holiday deco
Santa’s greenhouses ready
red poinsettias
Prompt: Write an earthworm haiku. (Haiku #77)
a moment shared
wriggling free of my fingers
blessing our garden
squiggly wee earthworm
Mother Earth loves gardeners
soil spirits rocking
Red, wet, warm and wiggle
A bed of castings so rich.
Tickling I smile.
Prompt: Write a sunset haiku. (Haiku #78)
Familiar sunsets
Settle the heart. Take a deep breath.
Salt air, flat land: Home.
The gorgeous sunset...
A nice way to end your day.
Acknowledge beauty.
Sara
Always shuttering
Sunrise sunsets from my porch
Their beauty inspires
chilly fall sunset
glowing in the fireplace
scent of wood burning
as the birds roost
red sunsets beckon me home
before the bats fly
