Saint Patrick
St. Patrick wore green
But in him no Irish was seen
Capture at sixteen
By Irish pirates would mean
Of sin Ireland he’d clean

My Jewel
Living String of Pearls
Sits upon my window sill
Silent Succulent
Haiku
(I just love my String of Pearls plant that I purchased last summer at our local Farmer’s Market. It sits on the a southern facing windowsill in my bedroom and really seems to like the filtered sunlight that streams thru as it has been steadily growing beautifully.)
Looking for Fall
Sitting in the wood
Beside the forest green
Fall colors absent
Haiku
Hidden Beauty
You who were once dressed in green
Have changed to a new color
That was kept hidden all summer
By Captain Chlorophyll.
Scarlet beauty
In a moment
You will be
Out of
Time.
Nonet
Serenity

I was inspired to write this poem after watching the beautiful
timelapse video of an Aurora Borealis in Fairbanks, Alaska by Alexis Coram
Thank you Alexis!
