phoenix demise-
huddling closer to the fire
soon, the son again rises
frost soon–
cutting flowers
generously
daylight savings time
to end soon
fall coming
this poem makes me want to put more pelicans into my life…
very evocative…
we’re at the ned of spring here in australia – i’m looking foward to writing beach haiku & camping senryu…
late summer
baseball cards between the spokes
an old man glides downhill
ants scurrying
middle of the night ……….
telephone rings, somewhere
–
Wave after wave
flights of pelicans
rise again
end of shorter days –
the annuals
won’t be here for spring
