Daily Haiku - Empty

there are no more words
left to say or to inspire;
the pen has run out

Daily Haiku - Summer has gone

the air is cooler
out come the long-sleeved t-shirts
socks call from the drawer

Daily Haiku - Jacarandas

blue on blue; breathless

beauty and perfect balance

on dark skeletons

Daily Haiku - rain, finally

yesterday rain came
drowning dust hanging heavy
in the atmosphere

Jacarandas & Pretoria

Armed response

Pretoria at this time of year is a sea of flowering jacarandas - have never seen anything like it. Streets are carpeted with the fallen leaves, sidestreets are tunnels of hazy blue. It was one of the most glorious things I have ever seen.

The pictures above say the rest.

Daily Haiku-Return from South Africa

to come home safely;

left behind jacarandas,

Spring and constant fear

Daily Haiku - driving home

short trees, long shadows
evening light speaks of autumn;
still summer lingers

Haiku in response to Clancy's comment on the snail haiku

Daily Haiku - A gift

wild mushrooms freshly

picked, mottled, alien presence

fried to perfection

Daily Haiku - early morning gift

intense breathtaking

cactus blooms in the morning

have died by nightfall

Daily Haiku - Patience

the snail waits for rain

locked on the wall all summer:

dormant, motionless

Daily Haiku -seasons

two Springs grace Cyprus:
before the searing summer,
after the heat dies

Daily Haiku - up with the birds

luminous full moon
wanes in the western night as
sun dawns in the east

Daily Haiku - garden maintenance

pruned, shorn, trimmed and tamed
autumn garden naked as
schoolboy's new haircut

Daily Haiku - not a happy bunny

today the O.U.
have mucked me about no end
I am not happy
