The Flower That Reaches [Senryū]

Hibiscus
reaches for pollen; though
pollen is nomadic.

Solitary [Haiku]

solitary flower
bows in a Spring breeze --
then stands upright.

“We should not mind so small a flower” by Emily Dickinson [w/ Audio]

We should not mind so small a flower 
Except it quiet bring
Our little garden that we lost
Back to the Lawn again -

So spicy her Carnations nod -
So drunken, reel her Bees -
So silver, steal a hundred flutes
From out a hundred trees -

That whoso sees this little flower
By faith, may clear behold
The Bobolinks around the throne
And Dandelions gold.

“A sepal, petal, and a thorn” (19) by Emily Dickinson [w/ Audio]

A sepal, petal, and a thorn
Upon a common summer's morn --
A flask of Dew -- A Bee or two --
A Breeze -- a caper in the trees --
And I'm a Rose!
