Hear nature’s essence
And laud succinctly.
Intrinsically…
Kudos, clarity,
Unite syllables.

Haiku–An Acrostic

A Walk in Haiku
The harsh, chilling freeze
Slowly warms into the spring’s
First hint of dewdrops
Left unfrozen upon the
Daffodil and rose. (Tanka)
Peacock’s tail lightly
brushes the tall courtyard wall–
disturbing ants’ march
tranquil, green anole
basks on warm, idle footpath
errant fly, no more
Cool, clear, trickling
rivulet, winds through forest
sun warms sloping bank
Leaves rustle gently
as the trumpeting swan glides
by–without a sound
Old bamboo thicket
Red-Crowned Crane selects a mate
Blustering wind sighs
Reflection of moon
Shallow rainwater vision
Mirrored at my feet
Welcoming ancient gate
Home, repast, sanctuary
Owl begins his night

Times Forgotten
Ancient artifacts
wear prehistoric imprints
from times forgotten.
Prehistoric ceramic artifact from China.

Manatee
Drifting manatee
lounging on the riverbed–
safe from propellers.
I’ve been fortunate to see these wonderful animals many times. They congregate at Blue Springs State Park and other spring-fed rivers when the weather turns cold and stay in the even temperature of 72 degrees spring water. They are fascinating and beautiful, gentle animals and very curious toward people. Their numbers are decreasing every year, however, mostly due to propellers of boats operating through manatee communities. They are an endangered species and protected by the state. Researchers believe there are only 2,000 – 3,ooo left in Florida. The Florida population is known as the West Indian Manatee out of the three types worldwide. I love to visit them whenever I get the chance.

Orange Blossoms
Image via Wikipedia
Orange blossom’s fragrance
attracts the hovering bees–
hands pluck ripened fruit.
When I was a child and the orange groves were plentiful here in Central Florida, the fragrance of the orange blossoms nearby was exquisite.

me inside; embarrassment

Lovers intertwined–
disentangling their hands,
beginning to part.
This is the Chinese character for love.
