in haiku, troiku Tags: branches, buds, green, leaves, life, rain, renewal, spring
Kristjaan at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai features “troiku” (each line of initial haiku is beginning line of three more haiku in a series). I wrote my own haiku to begin…
bare branches burst forth
spring budding freshly green leaves
renewal of life
bare branches burst forth

birds improvise on treesong
winter’s day is done
spring buds fresh green leaves
young rabbits nibble new grass
first tulips open
renewal of life
gentle scent follows spring rain
promise of apples

in rhyming verse Tags: garden, green, honeybees, mud, windmill
my garden is…
a nurturing place
rejuvenating space
my garden grows…
green food for health
veggies’ bountiful wealth
my garden knows…
thorn pricks can hurt
worms benefit dirt
my garden shows…
shoes track in mud
fingernails collect crud
my garden flows…
slime trails of slugs
bees’ honeyed hugs
my garden hoes…
weeds will NOT win
squeaks windmill spin
my garden chose…
to raise leafy praise
for long summer days

caretakers of earth
placed in garden for purpose
listen to the soil
all creatures on green planet
need resources to sustain

in quadrille, rhyming verse Tags: green, paradise, pastoral, sheep, spring
Earth’s new spring green
sings a theme serene
for ears and eyes keen
to creation’s pastoral scene.
On hills’ grassy sheen
fresh rain-washed clean
sheep shearer has seen
fluff-puff wool to glean.
A poets’ paradise pristine,
if you know what i mean.
For dVerse Poets “green” quadrille challenge and with my apologies to Luci Shaw 🙂

Photo: Spring Poetry by Alex Markovich
spring’s pale green raindrops
cling trembling to bare branches
spatter on sidewalk
_____
enslaved boy set free
patrick loved his enemies
truth drowns in green beer
_____
swords of irises
pierce soil and snow to touch sun
rising from bulbs’ tomb

The Thinker by Rodin (Wikipedia)
A contemplative philosopher?
intense, that’s for sure
(notice the curled toes)
but perhaps he’s a…
defeated athlete
flexing male model
confused caveman
rejected lover
famous architect
benched ball player
death row inmate
taxed accountant
jolly green giant
whoever he is,
he’s gotta be thinking…
where did I leave my clothes??
a poem in my pocket
