Dog-Rose [Haiku]

lone Dog-rose bloom
sways in a Spring breeze,
lulling into trance.

Hangers On [Haiku]

trunk ringed by fallen blooms, 
only the pate contains hangers-on.

Claustrophobic [Haiku]

carpenter bee
crawls into clock vine bloom;
freefalls into flight.

Crown Flower [Haiku]

crown flower buds
begin to split, but only one
takes the first peek.

Quiet [Haiku]

pink blossom drops
in still morning air
beside a quiet lake.

Jacaranda [Haiku]

Jacarandas bloom:
thousands of miles from home,
but no less purple.

Golden Hour [Haiku]

sunup hour:
yellow blossoms turn gold;
one flutters to earth.

Hawkweed [Haiku]

Hawkweed blooms
beside a creek that sparkles
with summer sunlight.

“The Lilly” by William Blake [w/ Audio]

The modest Rose puts forth a thorn,
The humble Sheep a threat’ning horn;
While the Lilly white shall in Love delight,
Nor a thorn, nor a threat, stain her beauty bright.

Beyond Shadow [Haiku]

bloom-laden branch
stretches to reach beyond
the shadows... but no.
