all flowery compliments 

we all felt special

she was so charming

laughter, sweet smiles blooming like 

bouquet of flowers

Daybreak

sun stood poised on clouds  

rays of splendour on her cloak  

ready for new day

the tree stood erect 

greeting the bright morning sun

leaves, branches hushed still

Road

long winding journey

passing dark trees, rocks, valleys 

never a straight road

walk each step knowing 

consequences of choices 

choose your path wisely

Lost garden

flowers and weeds grow 

running wild with abandon 

over garden walls

lost, unattended  

nature weaves lush green colours 

overflowing land

Boat ride

boat coasting over 

blue water shimmering sky

rippling quiet day

daybreak horizon

preparing to sail away

to waters unknown

Boldly

bravely I venture  

waters rippled in response

bold steps, I walk on 

I make bold plans to 

make a life of difference

for myself, others

Shadow

i search the wide room 

under table, white closets

i could not find you

opening window 

twigs sway hearing evening's call 

a lone shadow leaps 

full pale moon in arms 

dancing red shoes on brown feet   

twirling out of sight

goodbye, full circle

we have come, until I see 

not a trace of you

Winter

cold blistering wind

blowing snowflakes and white dust

welcome winter land

trees wrapped like cocoon

animals hibernating

until frost, ice melts

Haiku Heights - Prompt # 75 Winter

Street sounds

fire engine blaring

along crowded narrow street

alas, false alarm

~0~0~

clock chimes five sharp

tall buildings in a row sighed

as feet rushed outside

~0~0~

national game day

horns and whistles blowing loud

street full of colours

Waves

water crashing shore
never ending weaving
time and motion

roar of waves
singing, dancing in
unbroken rhythm

seashells on grey sands
swept by morning rush   
waits for turning tide

green algae float
salty brine flowing
streams into streams

swirling, crushed corals
clinging to soles of feet 
dusting footprints in sand

a pebble flies into air  

  
Author's Note:   I don’t know where it will land.  Some changes in my work life are coming.   More demanding and technical job in another city further away from home. 

I will know by next week.
