pack me light

stamped for camp

undress the stress

in quiet wilderness

 

where grass rustles

stream gurgles clear

beaver crew bustles

clouds thunder near

 

meadow lark sings

mosquitos start riot

forest tree rings

stones, alone, silent

 

Listen to the “sounds of silence” with Dwight tonight at dVerse Poets pub…

quiet stones by pond

ornamental trees blossom

bird chirps inside bush

remember neighbor who’s gone

…resurrected to new life!

 

While on vacation (visiting a Japanese garden in Hermann Park, Houston), we learn of a neighbor, Loren Meyer’s, sudden passing…

Carpe Diem’s prompt from Jane Reichhold’s “Dictionary of Haiku”:  beach

 

mesmerizing swell

turquoise waves break in white froth

caressing smooth stones

 Tan Renga linked to Carpe Diem

river stones

caressed by flowing water

pale moon shines   

                               -becca givens

 

owl wings past fir tree shadows

stream gurgles soft lullaby.

The stones will cry out,

“He is coming, He is here!”

Palm branches salute.

 

This king washes feet,

“Break my body, drink this cup.”

Heart of stone betrays.

 

He’s crowned, whipped, bleeding;

“My God, have you forsaken?”

Dies on stony hill.

 

Sunrise in garden;

“Tell me, Sir, where you laid him.”

Stone tomb cannot hold.
