Subtlety unknown,
Spring’s repertoire bold and bright –
soul responds in kind.

Late Afternoon Sun
Fragmented dazzle
alters scene – serene moment
rendered tenuous.

Lack a Fool Makes
Anchored, no money –
lack has a way of turning
dreams into fool’s gold.
(Dug up this haiku from August 2015 for today’s prompts: Ragtag Community and Fandango both choosing ‘fool’. Image from personal collection.)
Watching
Beneath mossy beards
weathered faces watch, listen –
silent witnesses.
Calm
Mirrored, the silence
echoes through my soul – invites
a deep soothing calm.
(It’s open link night at the dVerse pub, hosted by Kim. Â Thought I’d drop by with a bit of a calm. Â Image from personal collection.)
Test of Character
The knight’s bravado
is all well and good, until
the dragon wakens.
(A haiku for Willow Poetry’s What Do You See? challenge – the featured photograph.)
Nonchalant
Duck’s disposition
I admire – to glide, sail
through rainy weather.
(For Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku challenge: Â swim & float. Â Image from personal collection.)
Turmoil
Fierce the gathering
clouds laden, heavy – my heart
echoing the storm.
(For Ronovan Writes Haiku challenge: Â fierce & storm)
Progress
Man, possessed of mind,
logic driving ambition –
magic overlooked.
(For Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku challenge: Â man & magic)
