1146


image - Woodford Square, downtown Port of Spain, Trinidad

a tree blooms
all of yesterday
forgotten

now stirred
to mind across
millenia

in a country
disguised in
the hurry

of a wound
inflicted
where sand

abrases
the jar from within
and without

yellow blooms
appease a call to caring
cherish life

  3. The first three lines form a perfect haiku in themselves, reminding me of one of my favorites from the Japanese masters.

    calm days
    the swift years
    forgotten

  6. Nothing blooming here, yet.

    longer days
    moving slowly into spring
    flueries and sunshine

  7. ... and to parallel Bill:

    a tree buds
    past failures left behind
    old leaves

    And yet... the old leaves, nurture these new buds; the contrary contraries.

    __A grand run here, Gillena! _m
