Summer Sparkle [Haiku]

summer sunlight
sparkles on a blue lake --
always distantly.

Dandelion Spring [Haiku]

fields of yellow
through glades and pastures:
dandelions are here!

Updraft [Haiku]

a vulture soars,
riding the updraft and
sniffing for Death.

set against a snowcap
plays the minor shrine.

“My Heart Leaps Up” by William Wordsworth [w/ Audio]

My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.

Thistle Flowers [Haiku]

thistles are flowering,
looking spiky and dangerous,
yet soft and comely

Black & Tan [Haiku]

two streams join:
one black and one tan --
the lighter moves on.
