Beyond Shadow [Haiku]

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

Bud Struggle [Haiku]

tight bud opens: 
imperceptible struggle
to unpack beauty.

Tropic Confusion [Haiku]

branches: bloom-laden
but devoid of leaves:
tropic confusion.

Red Hibiscus [Haiku]

the red hibiscus
draws attention to itself,
while pointing downward.

Morning Glow [Haiku]

a bloom falls to earth;
lit up by the morning sun,
it glows… for a time.

Flower Fall [Haiku]

rain-laden blossom
falls… lands with a sound,
in the mud.

Bee [Lyric Poem]

I see the humble bumble bee, 
Or should I say I see its rump.
It snugged in, made itself cozy --
To get away it's far too plump.

Cliff’s Edge Poppy [Haiku]

at cliff's edge,
the swaying red poppy,
lures one closer.

The Lily [Haiku]

a single lily 
stands out in a pond of pads:
bright to browned.

“Ah! Sun-flower” by William Blake [w/ Audio]

Ah Sun-flower! weary of time,
Who countest the steps of the Sun:
Seeking after that sweet golden clime
Where the travellers journey is done.

Where the Youth pined away with desire,
And the pale Virgin shrouded in snow:
Arise from their graves and aspire,
Where my Sun-flower wishes to go.
