holiday shoulders

glistening with sweat,
holiday shoulders are now
sun-kissed and glowing pink

too hot to garden,
darkness of the theater
provided relief

muster up respect
and remember the fallen~
those who took the heat

never pressed for time

never pressed for time
the chipmunk crosses the road
in no big hurry

me, I spin my wheels
and still don't arrive on time
I could learn from him

between a "rock" and "time"
which one is really harder,
when rubber meets road?

irises

flags unfurled
purple irises
salute dawn

playing tag with the universe

today's haiku is prompted by carry on tuesday #53


playing tag
with the universe
hey you're it!

no escape,
very exciting
to be now

lift a toast
let's celebrate the
occasion

never far

today's haiku is prompted by carry on tuesday's quote: The road to a friend's house is never long

patterns repeating
in vast dendritic arbors
we are linked, my friend




comfortable home
distance dissolving the road
you are never far

20% left
How appealing can you be?
let's raise the money!

ready to break ground
but needing a few more bucks
to meet the budget

calendar niggles

carry on tuesday's prompt inspires today's back-from-the-Low-Country haiku....

back from vacation...
only the young have moments
of forgetting time?

time was meaningless
as this nearly 50 chick
frolicked on the shore

living this moment...
but in the back of my mind
calendar niggles

this blogger has been on vacation....
we will return to regular programming shortly:-)
