The clock’s progression
no indication: our place
setbacks suppress
potential values
limited horizon shadows
qualities of life
Time forgets. People
adapt, their short lives affect
impermanent change

Early Summer Delusion
tranquil . . . pool water
blue as vibrant sky above
spring’s summer vision
full sun . . . woody twigs
green leaf gone, infrequent bud
Ready to jump in
cool breeze, colder ground
sugarplum daydreams recede
Time to get to work

Rainwater & Young Buds
Seasonal Haiku Double
Windstorm warnings sound
dusk to dark: tornadoes bud
down shelters
Rainwater’s morning
dawn uncovers damage done
new buds color scene
