Dawn
Thanks once again to Freya for including this in her Emergence series. I love this piece!
dawn, adorned in red
penetrates night’s solitude
to dance a new day

This haiku is part of our Emergence theme.
Spring
Proud to have one of my haiku chosen for the theme of Emergence. Thanks Freya! You can find some hope for spring (and other great haiku) at Pure Haiku
shoots of deep green rise
daffodils wake from slumber
and hope springs alive
Plus (spoiler alert) there’s more coming down the road!
Easy Rider
wistful dreams recalled
of daring easy riders
conjuring desire
I actually was a too young to have any thoughts about Easy Rider when it first came out but as a teenage I became obsessed with guys on motorcycles. And Peter Fonda on a bike-woo hoo! Probably a good thing I didn’t see the movie until years later (many years–I think I was in my 40s). Not sure if seeing the movie as a teen would have wrecked my obsession or not 😉 but I would have hated to miss out on that Fonda crush.
So thanks for the memories Ronovan Writes
Weep
weep for polar bears
sacrificed for avarice
as truth is denied
When I first saw this pic, I thought it was a sad polar bear looking down at the mess we’ve made. So here’s my second contribution. Thanks Sue!
