HAIKU – NATURE’S PROPENSITIES

Hot summer pavement
Ants scurry between the cracks
Traffic everywhere

Fire red roses bloom
Thorny canes supporting them
Match made in heaven

Dewdrops on the grass
Nighttime magic is revealed
Sun’s awakening

Waves against the rock
Nature’s erosion at work
Years tell the story.

Delicate and sweet
The passion of the flower
Welcomes the insect.

Beauty of the sky
Clouds make puffy formations
Cotton candy soft.

Vibrant fall colors
Crispy leaves, discarded wood
Death of a season.

Wildflowers in bloom
Overlooking the city
Portrait in color.
