All About Numbers

what year is it

asked dragonfly out of breath

 twenty twenty three

 a good year all the flowers 

chimed in slightly out of breath

Some haiku i wrote last month
now sharing...

1
an exit sign -
she awaken from a dream
nontheless wiser

2
she enters regardless of
snares unwelcoming
complies with the bet

3
the weight of words
to a sporting gal carried
easily to bear

4
beautiful flowers 
there's room for every petal -
and even some more


5
trying to drown out
morning bird songs -
the neighbour's dogs


6
sunny day-
the stillness of a garden
without a breeze


7
more ketchup please
french fries at the chicken stop -
her favourite dish


8
she smiles -
entrance to her sand castle 
hearts


9
quiet now -
the pacifier
does work

she just might leave

behind her precious scarf

like Cinderella 

and the glass slipper fit for

a princely confrontation

it's Passion Sunday
how many hosannas will
suffice this twisting
of palm branches once waved 
for a king they then rejected
