I would love to live like a river flows, carried by the surprise of its own unfolding.” ― John O'Donohue

[Nilufer @NiluferYM]

from another world
full of light
noiseless..
my mother's smile
pours into my eyes

morning dew ..
the garden-spider's
invisible web
-bejeweled ..
visible again

A split sequence (maybe) ...

A Day in the Life

feeling bored

morning assembly
sparrows chattering 
in the playground

waiting for the bus

sparrows swirl
around the square ...
another leaf falls

piano lessons

sparrow song
under the eaves ...
brahms lullaby

a winter fog . . .
these mornings begin
to blur together

moonlit snow—
the silent swoop of an owl

@everettpoetry Thanks Kathleen :)

rice fields ..
that stretch along dawn's horizon
stooped silhouettes
sowing seedlings, ankle-deep in vermilion waters
- their flooded fields, mimicking the color of god's sky

sea view...
even the dog sits
to take it in

I cast my net & trawl the day
dawn to dusk for all that touches me
perimeter to core & pole to pole

it may be a cloud a bird a savage death
rain on a wind from the west
faces & minds or a bar of a song

sometimes they just flow on through
sometimes flotsam finds its place in me

at the edge of winter
just before never—
wild violets

My mother’s heather garden in SW Scotland flourishes still, almost 10 years after her passing.
Always in my heart 💜

all the small wins

after the drought
we plant haiku in what's left
of the stream

brewing storm—
the cat settles
on my full bladder

I believe Lee Gurga of Modern Haiku took this and drew a circle ⭕️
around it. He was Bob Spiess associate editors before the internet craze.

through the greyness
these found-pockets of tattered-light
illuminate a ripple here-&-there
strewn along the grey, sluggish river,
- a weighted-winter, still wading in her March-waters

slanting-in
through the hush of evening,
through the breaks
in the tall-line of cottonwoods,
coppering the tips
of tall spruce & douglas-fir
- September-sunset
floods our stone-steps
lights-up our shaded stoep

.. a white butterfly & I
lost in this moment
