butterfly trio
white petals flirt
passing wings
dainty cabbage pests
My haiku flits like little butterfly to Carpe Diem Haiku Kai‘s garden of cabbages…

Joining Carpe Diem’s time glass challenge today!
first celebrate
the flowers in your heart
confined in winter

sworl of green stirs heart
first crocus pokes thru soil
goodbye to winter

i bow my spirit
exposing caked-on dirt
let you wash my feet

June is “summertime” theme at Carpe Diem where today’s prompt is “clouds”…
wisps of big bluestem
black etchings on purple sky
poking ticklish clouds
pure iowa gold

what could be sweeter
ripe golden ears of corn or
child’s buttery face?
walking through ditch grass
sun smiles on up-turned faces
dandelion gold!
cup of soothing tea
facing toward open curtains
golden warmth of sun.
rest for awhile

behind waterfall
wet sounds overpower stress
cool mist is rising

verdant succulent
thrives beside the salty sea
raises pom-pom cheers
blooming median
beauty wilts between traffic
perfumes city street

hair would shine gray but
sons don’t wish me to look old
frost comes with autumn
purity (boy or girl?)

Anticipating new grandchild and contemplating “purity” theme at CDHK.

promise of new life
a singular affection
robins’ nest treasure
bathe with sea water
birth in gritty suffering
shell’s precious jewel

It’s dry and we’re hoping for rain soon (link to Kristjaan’s prompt at CDHK).
loud rumble and flash
wind whipping drops of moisture
prairie’s night drama
