early Spring:
trees still bare;
river low & slow.

Poppy [Haiku]
cliffside poppy:
bee shakily alights
in a mountain breeze.

Is it sunset? Sunrise? Both? Neither? It was like this for an hour or so when I was in Finland during the Summer. Never getting fully dark.

“Rain on Lotus” by Yang Wanli [w/ Audio]
Asleep on a leaf beneath lotus blooms,
Their fragrance floats across the misty lake.
Sudden rain - taps upon the canopy;
Its sound snaps me from sleep to wide awake!
The lotus is beaded with rain droplets --
Like pearls, drops roll together and apart;
The clear blobs coalesce like mercury,
Dripping to the river... back to their start.

Golden Hour [Haiku]
sunup hour:
yellow blossoms turn gold;
one flutters to earth.

Autumn Night [Haiku]
dry leaves skitter
past the temple censer,
colored by lantern.
