Shadow Flowers [Haiku]

clouds break up;
light shifts toward
wildflower patch.

“I fear’d the fury of my wind” by William Blake [w/ Audio]

I fear’d the fury of my wind
Would blight all blossoms fair & true,
And my sun it shin’d & shin’d,
And my wind it never blew.

But a blossom fair or true
Was not found on any tree;
For all blossoms grew & grew
Fruitless, false, tho’ fair to see.

Blossom Pair [Haiku]

the last two blossoms on the mountain, 
bump petals on a common stem.

“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.

Purple Ring [Haiku]

ring of blossoms
around the tree trunk:
still, as shadows creep.

Roadside [Haiku]

roadside tree
shakes with each passing truck,
but no blooms fall.

Orbits [Haiku]

spherical blooms,
arrayed like planets,
bees zip through.
