Fall Equinox 2016

As the days approach balance with the nights I find a calm interlude to give thanks and appreciate all my lucky stars. The universe is abundant.

I have accumulated an abundance of haiku. My goal this summer was to write one a day; some days I got carried away spewing them out. I’ve gathered about three dozen into a little chapbook titled

 “A Scattering of Haiku”.

1000 year old friend

Always advises to boldness

Grab their attention

Here are a few new haiku: 

Haiku syllables 
five, seven, five wrap little 
gift of awareness

Do nothing each day 
letting go of time will give 
abundance of time

Boldness is not brash 
Nor is it rude. To be bold
Is to fill the need
(for Diane, Sept 12, 2016)

Spontaneity
living life in the moment
it all takes planning

And some of my summer favorites:

Snatch and pin them down

Words of iridescent hue

Butterfly language

This is my piece work

Selecting and stitching words

Into peaceful web

Words still can create

Mind ships to carry away

Reader to herself

Lamenting his choice

Clockwise or counter-clockwise

Island biker sits
