Garden bed of creeping pink phlox

April’s full Pink Moon
is named for pink phlox in bloom,
both heralds of spring.

Some sort of fritillary butterfly sunning on a dandelion out in our meadow.

Happy weekend and #HaikuSaturday!

Flitting here and there,
flustered fritillary finds
flowery repose.

No rest for the wicked though; I have a critique to do, art to create, bathrooms to clean, and laundry to wash. Oh, and crackers and sourdough bread to make. 😵‍💫 Wondering when I can fit a nap in…

Photo of red, yellow, orange and white tulips against a garden fence with trained apple trees

Tulips in splendour -
A year’s brooding, baked in Earth,
Makes now their moment.

Phoebe/fly catcher on a bare limb greening with spring color

from places far-flung
you come, and land feather-light
on limbs green with spring

white flower petals floating on top of a pond with only small areas not covered; trees in background; sun shining across surface

spring's accumulation floats

Orange cat lies on windowsill with beige blinds as background. Cat looks out through glass window.

Happy Saturday!
cat watches and waits
close but removed from action
envies dog’s freedom

(we are in a late-in-your-day timezone, so I’m posting an initial #haiku #haikusaturday during local Friday evening)

family tragedy
whispered at fogbank's dense edge
what looms through the dark?

#HaikuSaturday #haiku
5/7/5:
bright beads of water
on frilled purple iris
blooms--
brief April shower

short form:
bright drops bead
on a frilled purple iris--
April shower

Please add a version if you feel like it. I can't type them-- computer isn't working.

driveway drama
wild turkeys circling --
tail fans open

she visits sometimes
silently stands by my side
holds my hand and smiles

It's so nice to read you again, Susan!

where will we tie ourselves in
knots in the day-web
