our last goodbye

our last goodbye
pine trees shrouded
by the mist

(tied for 1st place, Caribbean Kigo Kukai #40, March 2013)

under the pergola

Because I love teddy bears and tea so much,  I just had to write two!

under the pergola
we linger over
our second cup

dappled sunlight
he says my secrets
are safe with him

the space

the space
between bird calls…
feathered breeze

watercolor sky

watercolor sky
a hawk circles
into view

awake with the dawn

For the I Doodle, You ‘Ku  challenge, on Aubrie Cox’s Yay Words blog:

awake with the dawn
one by one
thoughts emerge

allegro con brio

For the I Doodle, You ‘Ku  challenge, on Aubrie Cox’s Yay Words blog:

allegro con brio
a flurry of hailstones
heralds spring

easing up

For the I Doodle, You ‘Ku  challenge, on Aubrie Cox’s Yay Words blog:

easing up
on the pressure of my brush
sunlight on bamboo

mossy shadows

For the I Doodle, You ‘Ku  challenge, on Aubrie Cox’s Yay Words blog:

mossy shadows
the old stone well
gathers silence

walking within

For the I Doodle, You ‘Ku  challenge, on Aubrie Cox’s Yay Words blog:

walking within
the beam of my flashlight
night without stars

first crocuses

For the I Doodle, You ‘Ku  challenge, on Aubrie Cox’s Yay Words blog:

first crocuses
my boots forgotten
in the closet
