thanks for reposting my poems!

Sharp edges glowing
Your extroverted side
Agave in sunshine
#haiku #poetry #nature

Moist leaves on the trail
Laurel and Evergreen
Perfume the air

Gray days of nourishing rain
Help to brighten
Political darkness

#haiku #poetry #autumn #rain

Prickly arms outstretched
Embracing the raindrops
Agave mandala

Fragrant forest
Alive with renewal
Autumn's first rain

Scruffy coyote
Living in the shadows
Of human encroachment

nice image!

Equinox past
Sliding toward solstice
Morning darkness

Dragged to and fro
Between opposite poles
Trying to stay steady

Ushesh. The Recollections of a Megafauna Bear. Part 3: “Eshemu” My mother’s name was Eshemu. She was a very rare ice bear, her fur adapted to the blue glaciers in our northern country. From a distance, my mother could give the illusion that she was the shadow of a cloud moving over the ice; when standing close to her, her blue gray fur softened the blinding white glare of the snow.

You gave each chimp a name
Saw them as individuals
We came to see ourselves

Farewell to an extraordinary woman

Ushesh. The Recollections of a Megafauna Bear. Part 2: “The Goddess of the Moon” There is no one, human or animal, who can pretend to divine the true nature of myth and reality during their lifetime upon Earth. The old stories resonate so strongly in our souls and captivate our hearts so completely that we want to believe they are literally true—that the gods and magical creatures really do, or at least once did exist.

Ushesh. The Recollections of a Megafauna Bear. Part 1: “The Aathsha” My name is Ushesh. In my earthly life I inhabited the far northwest corner of North America, at a time when the glaciers were receding and the first of you humans were entering our world. My snout was shorter and my face flatter and wider than the bears you are now familiar with, and I was much bigger than any bear now living on Earth.

Timeless summer days
Yield to autumn's
Falling leaves

Nature feathering her bed
For winter's slumber
And sweet dreams of spring

thanks!!

My little sparrows
With the golden crowns
Returned from northern nesting grounds

Such cheerful voices
Miniature suns
Through winter's darkness

Reddening leaves
Seed pods ready to scatter
Finches delight

You hug the base of redwood trees
Deep shade and moisture
Late summer flowers

#haiku #poetry #nature #wildflowers

"Elk Clover," a beautiful, understated wildflower. Big, bright green leaves.

Orange
So lovely in flowers
In fiery sunsets
In your gentle streaks
Trough Dawn's pink light
And on a rare night
The moon does glow
With your pale orange light

Last days of vacation
Time accelerating
Red shifting summer

#haiku #poetry

Hot summer night
Meditative metronome
Crickets!

#haiku #nature #poetry

lovely!

On a clear, warm night
Under your light
Life's strife can seem far away
#haiku #poetry #japaneseart #art

The psychopath summit
Self satirizing
Evil disgrace

Dream like disbelief
This can't be happening
But it's real

"Wake up! It's only a bad dream!", but it's not
"The Scream" by E.Munch

She is one of my all time favorite humans. Wonderful post

Chattering birds
Babbling stream
Cadences of solitude

Deepening thoughts
Upwelling ideas
Gifts from the unconscious

Stillness surrounds me
Dreams inhabit me
Cadences of life

The alembic
Alchemy's melting pot
Symbol of transformation

America
Melting and mixing
E pluribus unum

Centuries of alchemy
Gave way to science
Time moves forward, not back

Our collective psyche
Evolving amalgam
Forward, not back

Mid summer
No rain, no water
All is parched, yet you bloom

#haiku #poetry #wildflowers
California fushcia

Frenetic
Zipping here and there
I must eat constantly

No airplane, no drone
Can equal my wings
I am a hummingbird!!

Thorny thicket
Sweet fruit
Hidden raspberry patch
