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.

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

Merry, Merry Sparrow!
Under leaves so green
A happy Blossom
Sees you swift as arrow
Seek your cradle narrow
Near my Bosom.

Pretty, Pretty Robin!
Under leaves so green
A happy Blossom
Hears you sobbing, sobbing,
Pretty, Pretty Robin,
Near my bosom.

Quiet [Haiku]

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

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.

Tough Pink Blooms [Haiku]

flower cluster hangs
through a cold December --
the last leaf lone gone.

“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.

Fearful Flowers? [Senryū]

stunted flowers:
in fear of mower
decapitation?
