A raven’s feather

Is no less than a dove’s

Atleast in my mind

Blink, and youth is gone.
Grasping it is like catching
water with a sieve.

What if my pursuits
Are so many rugs to sweep
emotions under

Haiku and photo: “Setting”

Haiku and photo: “Setting”

Setting
The Earth turns away /
Receding her face from light. /
Buds hold spring within.

Weekly Haiku 2021 #9

Eleven before

The eleventh hour strikes

Pandemic birthdays

    dusk hues —
a row of bare trees
    & their patience

Some Spring Haiku by Kristen Lindquist

Some Spring Haiku by Kristen Lindquist

morning fog
my to-do list full
of question marks
circling back
to our conversation
broad-winged hawk
spring flooding
the river goes back
to its old ways
still-leafless trees…
pondering the motives
of crows
spring flood
pairs of ducks
sail past
March wind
on the bay whitecaps
become gulls
rainy day traffic
memories of the ocean
within us all
ice storm
the surprising number
of hollow…

for an honest path
follow where you need to go
even if alone

This is how it starts.
Memories grip you, and then
you’re dancing with ghosts.

In the late winter

Hidden in the shadows
Ancient urges stir.

We are not ourselves
when we have no romance time
let’s go re-find us

Between The Walls (#Haiku #Collage)

Between The Walls

between our walls
a small grove of trees
bare today but ready to bloom

Haiku - 3/3/2021

Haiku – 3/3/2021

Bird on the mailbox

Chirping out it’s morning song

Looking for some worms

I will stay with you

Despite how it’s killing me

I want to be yours

Relinquish

Gnawing sensations

That feign to rip, tear, or shred

Can be relinquished 

Brazenly loud yet

Even when I scream and shout

No one seems to hear

Latch on and then just

Refuse to let go and you

Wouldn’t be the first one
