Six-thirty A.M.
Daylight savings time wonder
Pink clouds cover sky
Haiku: Faint Warmth
Dark and frigid dawn
Coldest of the year and yet
Crescent moon beams glow
Later on the sun
Very welcome imposter
Called me out to play
Haiku: Jade Plant Journey
Five foot high jade plant
Grows old in my barber’s shop
Fertile ancestor
Customers like me
Modern Johnny Appleseeds
Take cuttings to root
Mine grew strong and tall
Reaching for the bright sunlight
Then it took a bow
Quite ungainly now
It required a scissor’s trim
Made jade feel at home
Haiku: Lament For the Future
January day
Dull gray clouds obscure the sky
Too warm for jeweled snow
Will it thus be so
World unrecognizable
In aeons ahead?
Haiku: Brief Run
Summer lingered still
Not yet ready to depart
Autumn knocked on door
Robed in finery
Fiery red, soft apricot
Jack Frost-designed leaves
Wind sent them a-twirl
Beauty carpets patio
Winter’s on the way
Haiku: Wall Flowers
Summer music stilled
Fragrant breezes play no more
Patio stones cold
People gone inside
Chairs wait for another year
Stacked against the fence
