Hello, Sunshine!

Standard

I sigh,

From where I lie,

Chin held high,

While my eyes imbibe,

The flowing sky,

And all is right.

It’s an unusually bright,

Afternoon,

Already.

Leaves of grass,

Are weaved,

Underneath,

My back-

My hair and clothing,

Have dandelion seeds,

Clinging to them.

“The garden returns,

The flowers bloom, the weeds rise,

All from the sun’s rays.”

I sit up,

And feel the light,

Caress my face,

Hit my hair,

Warm my shoulders.

“Hello, Sunshine!

I’m glad you’ve stopped by,

Thanks for everything.”

On the Road: A few Highway Haikus

Standard

1) Black, cracked tarmac,

Potholes dot  line,

Craters on the moon.

2) Grey plastic fragments,

Torn toys, paper bags, roadkill,

Litter on the shoulder.

3)  Dented divider,

Past event– tragedy?

Unnamed accident.

4) “Fuel, 16 miles”

Gas light on, alone, no signs,

Driver’s dilemma.

5) Deer crossing; beware,

Old habitat rended now,

Just passing through here.
