kissing inside out
delicious exploration
synchronized heartbeats
shiver in delight, tumbling
onto a bed of romance
tiled floors, walls, windows
do not complete the layout
he is my decor

The Wisdom of Signs
Yesterday, I met a friend for breakfast, and then we took a walk through downtown and the neighborhood. We both were struck by the beauty and uniqueness of this sign that is not uncommon to any of us. So, below are thoughts that came to mind in the form of haiku:
when children are near
absorb their laughter, the joy
flowing into you
snails teach with their wise
leisure movements, taking in
beautiful backdrops
slow down your travels
do not let decades escape
catalogue moments
pause in your footsteps
regard life’s celebrations
breathe in their fragrance

Tiny Treasures by the Sea
precious works of art
remain forever priceless
as time ticks away
rocks and shiny shells
of all shapes and colors bring
joy to childlike hearts
sandy shore offers
troves of tiny treasures for
imaginations
smooth-as-silk green glass
in clay molded with fancy
edges shows vision
paintbrush through fingers
brows furrowed, concentrating
cherished masterpiece
tiny hands create
a piece of art, melting the
heart decades later

Our son made this
when he was little,
forever priceless. ❤️
The Mystery, Message, and Meditation
listen carefully
breathe in, breathe out, letting go
your soul will thank you
secrets ride the waves
ebbing, flowing in deep blue
we are not privy
waves carry a vast
mystery with each whisper
we may not discern

Peach Essence
feeling bashful, she
displays her stunning profile
nature’s loveliness
dazzling passersby
her peach essence entrances
they pause to admire
energy restored
she reclaims her place in life
after night’s spring rain
raindrops vacillate
layers hold their own secrets
delicate delight
petals of velvet
invite raindrops to bask in
their peach enchantment

A Blooming Conundrum
sunlight fashions smiles
lifting faces to the blue
they sense springtime has
sidled up next to autumn
craving notoriety
rainfall quenches thirst
nourishment long awaited
wilted leaves revive
bright petals unfold
shivering with elation
winter watches with
concern as the months of spring
have seemingly reappeared

Nature’s Attraction
all are invited
to our patio, indulge
and feel accepted
no need to squabble
there’s plenty to go around
nibble in delight
watching from sidelines
awestruck from the performance
nature’s attraction

These aren’t the best photos,
but I was happy to capture
these little friends in action.
The View
summer’s shades shine, I
smile, a banquet of beauty
blooming with brilliance
