Today
In the garden
I saw hints of Autumn
And I’m not ready to bid Summer
Goodbye
Cinquain
I realized today that August is nearly over and that in about one month Autumn will arrive and I am not at all ready for that!
Summer got started here a month late, and I’m just not looking forward to losing those long warm sunny days yet.
Ah, but every year I fight a losing battle as Summer runs and Winter walks and I can’t do anything about it.
Happiness realized
In my little world today
Promises fulfilled
Day’s filled will sunny smiles
Summer finally woke up!
Tanka
Summer is finally here and I am doing my happy dance! Temps in 75 to 80’s today and all next week! Yay!!
I seem to be obsessed
By all the colors of Spring
Bee in my bonnet
I can be found snapping pics
In random neighbor’s yards
Tanka
Today it was so nice out again I just had to take a walk down the block to check out all the neighborhood yards to see how much Spring growth had appeared.
Well I was pleasantly rewarded as one neighbor had an abundance of vibrant
crocus blooming. The bees and I were happy and one even paused for a pic😊
The wind around me rages
March is practicing
For her arrival
Tree branches swaying
Weaker ones hurl
As if in protest
To being awakened
From a winter’s sleep
Syllabic Verse
A spring in my step
On pink and white pathways
Cherry blossom time
Haiku
My daughter’s cherry tree was in full bloom today! So pretty! So uplifting to see!
After Thanksgiving
It all began happening
Planning, purchasing
Decorating and wrapping
Now we sit and wait for morn
Tanka
Our family is having our Christmas tomorrow morning because that’s the only time everyone can get together at once.
Presents are wrapped, cookies are baked, and I’m ready to go!
Tonight I am just resting, watching Christmas movies, nibbling on a few cookies, and waiting for morning 😊
Rainy night
Reflections
Seasonal
Sentiments
Christmas comes
Once again
Syllabic Verse
Ground is frosty white
Squirrel scurrying for acorns
Hither, thither, yon
Haiku
I am Miss Autumn
Dressed in vibrant colors
Creating crisp brisk breezes
Inviting leaves to dance
As maple trees clap
Their red and golden appendages
Beneath cloudy skies
And furry grey squirrels scamper
To gather the oak’s treasures
Choka
Red carpets of leaves
Gold falling all about me
Feel like royalty
Haiku
