FILLING THE MORNING WITH WONDER - A HAIKU STRING
how they twitter
these birds of the morning -
breath in breath out

breath in breath out
the newness of today
tis sweet repast

tis sweet repast
dew drops frost green leaves -
ah sun rising

ah sun rising
shards of light image the walls
azure-filled window

filling the morning with wonder/watergrass flower suckles a bee

I am blog hopping at

days as hot as a drought


Scenic Weekends


the imaginary garden with real toads

cocooned in webs
of silken dawn; sunrise stalks
the top most branches

in loud acclaim fashioning
a morning of bird songs

buds open in silence
the newness of a day
coloured in surprise

Starched Can Cans

a bee
at the throat of a blossom...
sweet rapture

wind through praire sweeps
wild flowers this way that way

eager faces...
the excitement of children
running limbs carry

choo choo..
the train of thought
another busy day

each swirl nimble needle points
in hushed halls where vaults secure

they crave
the passion of
open fields
--gillena cox

the street sweeper's broom
in early morning toil...
bird songs approaching

dawn--
mimicking me striking fire
croaking frog
