    This was my morning personified.

    geese on the lake
    all calling at once
    allahu akbar

    Beautiful and thoughtful poem, thank you for sharing Kristen.
    I can hear with you the quiet murmuring of the river, as it ponders along in its timeless way.
    The season phrase opening line sharpens the impact.

    earth day
    yet another neglected
    anniversary

    This is one of the most thought provoking and poetic pieces I've ever seen on Tinywords.

    Thank you for sharing it.

    It's amazing that now it's not Earth Day but Earth's Reprieve as few aircraft and other deadly pollutants are reduced.

    Lovely haiku, and I'm enjoying leaving the rest of nature alone, and letting it become ever more natural again.

    river stretch–
    a wisp of a cloud
    follows itself
