dainty daffodil
your golden trumpet fanfares
the dawning of spring

Such precious gemstones
Morning dew shines like diamonds
God’s tears from heaven

Written on 18th February 2 days before my father died

afterglow
dark ripples still warm
from sunrise

thick blanket of snow
snuggling the flowerbeds 
with a winter wrap

tinted by the setting sun

a cluster of dreams
waiting for a puff of wind -
the freedom to roam

Nature's wake from sleep
Life flirts with beauty
a time for flowers to flaunt

writing as I drift

   on the ocean's endless blue. . . 

                     my soul over        flows

flames of desire
as I hold my love close. . . 
the sky has caught fire

Purple butterfly
Bush grows weary with its load
Covered with gold wings

diamond dewdrops
glisten on gossamer threads
morning has broken

cold-cling of Winter
wrapped in sweaters, wound in scarves —
fashion for snowmen

magenta pink sky
songbirds singing melodies -
peony opens

'neath buttermilk skies 
my soul on the horizon -
I have found my voice

liquid little stones
skipping and skittering free
on shared umbrellas

Gullies scar brown earth
     Hurricanes bring erosion
          Of both soil and lives

~twice the beauty~


in the sea of love 
reflection of the night 
a wave moves

"Haiku of enlightenment"

all explanations 
a perceptive, world of green
mocking the land

summoned bird calls
tantra and morality 
zestful garden-----------------  in waiting 

by;pd

Sealing eyes of sky,
       Descend upon straps of light,
Dusk…now dreams the night...

emerald green growth
dresses the rocks and pebbles
natural velvet

a child plays alone

watching from behind a tree

the predator smiles

before melting---
her eyelashes' flicker
with my every breath

paper boat--
how far will it carry
my child's smile
