I wait for the calm
Deep within murky waters
Trusting Platypus

H54 “Float Along”
Treading the water
Let go now and try to float
A life preserver
Art & Haiku: “Secret Door”
H52 “Simple Aid”
Hypnotic rain pours
Mesmerizing the manic
Nature’s sedative
H51 “A Moment”
A solo white swan
Pacing the quiet canal
A lovers quarrel
H50 “Green Light”
An endless green light
Set those wings on Soar
Don’t ever look back
H49 “Reminder: Be Nice”
With a mouth like yours
How could I ever miss you
What did Thumper say?
H48 “Summer Fun”
Take off your white gloves
Plunge your soft hands into dirt
Mud pies and earthworms
H47 “Ode to Home”
Whales just beyond sight
Evergreens within your grasp
The San Juan Islands
H46 “Exhale”
Emerging unscathed
Hold your breath and dive back in
Just once more let go
H45 “Sweet Eviction”
These walls do crumble
Once swirling in your sweetness
Our gingerbread house
H44 “If Only”
I keep expecting
That somehow you will grow tall
And take the High Road
H43 “Child & Falcon”
Pitch black midnight wings
Embrace the sleeping child
Falcon pajamas
————————————————-
*Falcons have powerful totemic meaning. To read more about that, I recommend going to Whats-your-sign.com. I thoroughly enjoy their information.
I wrote this haiku in the wee hours this morning after being stirred by my cat. A Falcon may be calling for life in my artwork… Or maybe this poem is enough.
H42 “Water Creature”
Lingering blue waves
Soak the granules of stone
Mermaid gargoyle
H41 “A Rebirth”
Seedling in the depths
Unraveling rose petals
A gravestone bouquet
H40 “Hope . . .”
Hope as a white thread
Seaming these dreams together
A flag at half mast
H39 “Sensory Cleanse”
Cascading flowers
I swim amidst their perfume
Wisteria Falls
H38
Hovering wide eyes
Monitoring in darkness
Security light
H37 “My Lullaby”
Each night I am lulled
Waves roaring in harmony
My daughter breathing
H35 “A Birth”
“A Birth”
A New Moon and You
Let your wings bathe in star dust
Forever in flight
My daughter was born the night of the New Moon (in Taurus) and the weekend of the Lyrid Meteor Shower (2012). She turns 1 next Sunday! Oh.my.goodness.
H34 “Wash Away”
Feeling haunted by
Memories once hidden the
Rain feels relieving
H32 “Ow!”
Blistering palms as
Though I were rowing again
Philips screwdriver
H31 “Childhood Memory”
Rainfall on cement
So fresh and dank it reminds
Me of cycling home
H30 “Rock Me To Sleep”
Tar on sea pilings
The ever constant creaking
Rocking me to sleep
H29 “Good Night”
I hear you White Waves
Beckoning my Spirit to
Sleep and emerge new
