an epic saga
begins again
the new moon

#vss365 #saga

the blue sky
each word flutters
with the wind

#InternationalHaikuPoetryDay

tulip fields
a bright bell
rings in the dawn

#vssnature #tulip

following
a stream
softly singing

#vssnature #stream

a hidden alcove
wisteria tumbles
in endless silence

#vssnature #wisteria

across the meadow
a lingering pause
for wildflowers

#vssnature #meadow

lazy afternoon
in the garden children seek
dandelion clocks

#vssnature #garden

a full moon
the magnolia
shines bright

#vssnature #magnolia

time ripples
across the lake
the moon shines

inspired by Suzanne Murray 's lovely poem 'river flowing'

first light
rain falling
without any wind

blue iris
the waves
wash over me

a balmy evening
one by one
stars take their place

the catacombs

the silence
coloured in
cherry blossom

for todays #vssnature prompt #diamonds here is a piece from our book of short poems Building Sandcastles.
It is from a time many of us will never forget

lockdown
wearing on the soul
will we be diamonds?

the soft sounds of spring
among the wildflowers
a light breeze carries

each evening
a little longer
rising tides

an old stone wall
the deep shadow shelters
a new born lamb

#vssnature #lamb
#haiku #micropoetry

upon the smooth road
a remnant of the river
that once was

#haiku Saturday

a cold waiting room
faded posters display
distant shores
