Rain drenches the earth.
Clouds touch us softly with tears,
Liquid sky puddles.

Luminous leaf fell,
Curled by hazy summer heat,
Embracing autumn.

Shadows in sunshine
Hiding secrets in plain view —
Winds tease, fairies dance.

Ode to a Mushroom — Concrete Poetry

Shroom
MushrooM
rising up in the dark,
cap of a wood elf caught
under the trees on a fallen log,
dirty,
damp,
musty
smell,
wiped
clean,
fried in
butter,
divine.

Magical leaves dance;
Fallen trees hieroglyphics,
A Termite Pueblo.

Virtuous Verbena

I have another magical picture and poem from Lavender Moon Girl, sharing glorious images and magnificent minutiae. 🙂

Vivacious,
Elegantly elfin like
Sugar pink posies,
Fancy for fairy
Princesses palaces.
Fragrant, finespun,
Flavour of marzipan;
Magnificent minutiae
Of nature’s manuscript.

No! It can’t be fall!
Another year is fading;
One leaf has fallen.

In Upper Falls, sings the lower octave, under the violin.
Children start lessons tightly furled

The arm loosens, the bow swings, and the petals begin to unfurl. Continue reading

Dragonfly Dances in Three Haiku

IMG_5851

Dragonfly dances;
Rainbow wings, shining, flashing,
Magic spins aloft.

Last will come winter
Leaving shadows, memories
Of summer soaring.

Never forgotten
Is the dance of the fairy
In glen, fen and den.
