Awaking, skies dark,
Raindrops beat time on my heart,
Still room for beauty.

Thank you! Wow, I’ve never been asked that before. I’ve read translations of Japanese Haiku, I’ve read Basho, Frost, Dickenson, Plath, Wright and many anthologies of many other poets. I studied poetry in college, contemporary, older and Irish. I still read them occasionally, I like to read them then stop and think.

Those leaves are beautiful too, very unusual – to me anyway! What kind of plant is it?

They are angel wings or caladium. In my area, they are annuals, which means they are very rare. I grew some last year from gifts, and they were very beautiful. These are a neighbor’s.

Yes! When it’s super dark in the morning that’s no fun but I work late so I don’t have to experience heading to work in the dark…
