Here is a macro nature photo I took of a pink-purple lilac cluster with two buds at the mid-upper-left starting to open. Between their four curled petals is a magenta x-shape of brightness. The background is a green bokeh of leaves. Light through the blossoms delicately whispers, "Hi, I'm warm and soft, my sweet perfume will soothe your heavy heart." Happy National Poetry Month! My latest haiku is dedicated to new beginnings: guardians at the gate lilac's scent swings open

"fair"

there, where
owls orbited.
couldn't keep what
ga'hoole's guardians
got up to; but I still rem
ember how those days
smelled, new paper open
ing to pawing kids trying to
justify giant tomes of bone.

pages lost to finger
tips, but I still feel
em come spring.

I guess guardian angels are fine.
I don’t know, cuz I’ve never met mine.
If I have one, it’s hiding—
No guarding, no guiding.
What I’m missing, I can not divine.

He has tried to stop
my pen
from telling his secrets
revealing his truth,
again he has tried to bury
me
from shouting my outrage,
exposing his lack of regret;

he knows not of my guardians,
your eyes,
his exposure,
you are my witnesses-
Do not forget

Night from the day we
Take as we fall from a
Grace turned to stone
Together alone as
The sun becomes skin in
Blisters to beauty bronzed
To antiquity longed to
Preserve youth in memory
So we speak of nature
As if we are apart

"passing by"

days clinging to
her hull, scars of
rust lingering 'gainst the
salty spray. call it
nature's nurturing, rocking a
mighty mast to past at last.

trawler trumbling along till
it can't.

Utah juniper sitting on the edge of the Grand Canyon South Rim - the Canyon is in the background - with blue sky, wispy white clouds and other evergreens are near it, other evergreens or perhaps Pinyon Pines Photo by ctrlaltdltffs 2008

ancient twisted Utah juniper
with its little blue-gray gin berries
sits on the rim of the canyon
overlooking the rocky red depths
proud old man watching over his land
as he should

A Haibun On Comforting Things Bluebells and whistles and fine, trimmed down nettles. Sleeping magnolias and a hundred dahlias. Peppers and crawlers and some other things. These things are some of my comforting things. Whatever may happen persevere I'll ever, things that don't matter they'll never be my weather. The highlights of my day all in these things, I'll comfort myself with my favorite things... When the bugs bite, or when bees sting, or when I'm feeling down. I'll simply tender to my favorite things, and I know I will be alright. Dogs, they sometimes bite Days when I'll feel sad, I know I will be alright.

My second entry for #PoetsOfDoom, my latest entry for #WildWalkPrompt, #Cassiopeian.

More of my favorite things that exist in nature.

My mother tried to teach me
The beauty of the trees
The innocence of flowers
The gracefulness of leaves
It's in a mothers nature
To nurture what she loves
Now I've grown to see the garden
In everything she does

My skies
Have turned
Painfully red

An anger swells
a thunderhead

Rain hides away
and never falls

hovering
chain lightning

Cassiopeia’s insignia image card that reads its prompt; Earth Weekly: Mar 25th to 31st. By yeehawpoems

Another snap shot of my winter trip to Asheville NC art district — which is favorite road trip spot for me. It’s an image of the art districts; park area where there’s a bridge that reads: —under the stars 🌟 that is in front of a long walkway, and beautiful lake.

A #Solseed Joint #divinity

Asheville NC

Inside a tempest
twirls,
trembling quiet,
twisting nature,
terrorizing soul
in its aftermath
leaving the organs
flat,
eyes blank,
heart emptied,
mind misshaped,
mouth frozen-
feelings unspoken

Nature keeps her veil
we, her children, try to trace
her truth in crayon

sometimes i wonder what it would be like to be a bird to lift off the earth and take to the air feel wind on my face make a home of the sky and watch notions of land and border right and wrong fall loose from my mind like feathers lost mid-flight at the sight of the blue of the hills of the clouds, transient and radiant i would leave no mark on this earth with my search for daily bread if i were a bird i would spend my hours singing for the rising sun for the sake of it not to lament in my heaviness at what this land has become @crattygus.bsky.social
