Purple petal bloom
How exquisite you are
Such a grand designer
Fashioned you with His word
And dressed you in royalty

Prophetic Warning
The forest tree leans
A strong North wind encircles
Writing on the wall
Haiku
Traveling Time
Trying to hold it back
But Time wont wait for me
It just wants to flee
It’s Seconds keep on running
No, Time won’t wait for me

July Picnic
Summer day in the glade
Under the tall maple trees shade
Yellow lemonade
Senryu-Rhyme
Mirrored Memories
Mirror reflection
Place time long forgot
Memories of home
Haiku
In the Looking Glass
Character reflects
Traits that time long forgot
A true mirror image
Senryu
Pretense
All thunder, no rain
Sky threatens, yet the sun shines
Like Politics
Often all talk and no action
Actions speak louder than words
Tanka
Uneven, Unsure, Unstable
Sometimes
Life is difficult
Each step’s hard
Feet sinking
Like walking in the sand
Seeking firmer ground
Shadorma
Beach Memories
Morning Impromptu choice
Leads to fun life experience
Footprints in the sand
Senryu
Ocean Lace
Swirling round
Ocean whirls and flirls
Like a dancer
Twirling round
Waves and foam spreading out
Like a lace gown
