the downward dog of
a honeysuckle blossom
protecting its pollen

#haiku #poetry #gardening #yoga #haiga

spring buds attendant on the gathering of sufficient vernal light

winter reveals how
a tree’s calculus
of growth maximizes light
but spring must bring
the equation to life

#tanka #poetry #haiga #spring

unquenchable flame of
flowers of futurity
held aloft by wire

#haiku #haiga #poetry

an oak’s calculus
of growth maximizes light
within finite space

#haiku #poetry #haiga

something there is
that loves a path not a wall
inviting passage

#haiku #poetry

the embroidered marsh
stitching together the clouds
in the water’s midst

#haiku #poetry

Comforted by song,
We walk along the sea edge,
Low tide treasures strewn.

#dailyhaikuprompt low tide

the crowning glory
a cloud passing overhead
nature’s trousseau

#haiku #poetry what a beautiful capture! ready for the cover of vogue!

over the water
where sunset meets the horizon
a palindrome of light

#haiku #poetry beautiful photo Adrianna!

miracle of light
what if the vanishing point
only drew closer

#haiku #poetry

along the field-path
remembering the way home
chasing cloud-shadows

the son of the moon
the prince of the western sky
came home late one night
all the other stars
were already out

winter stubble
clouds glisten the vernal sun
salt marsh hosanna

#haiku

civilization
had some advantages like
the electric tram

#haiku #post-apocalypse

the winter’s carnage
only a small stand of reeds
remains standing

@4aamari.bsky.social trying to channel you with this photo

the willow commits
to a one year renewal
subscription to life

#haiku #spring2026

the muck and the glare
the body of March lies bare
all over green shoots
get their first taste of air

light’’s indirection
shadows mix with reflection
things not what is seen

#haiku #poetry

the first signs of spring
the torch of the sporophyte
rekindles life's fire

#haiku. #spring2026

equinox draws near
dormant creatures appear
birdsong increases

#haiku #spring2026

lushly spring comes
suddenly with a broadside
of blossoms and birdsongs

#haiku #poetry #spring2026

Fallen limbs of winter

Spring melt uncovers
Fallen limbs snow encumbered
The toll of winter

#haiku #poetry

in mind’s eye under
a street lamp in place of the moon
we danced til dawn

#haiku

shadows crisscrossing
the day goes this way and that
darkness gathers
light falls flat

#haiku

Spring begins with
the hilarity
of the hillside stream

on the compost pile
we do what we can to prompt
things falling apart

#haiku #poetry

Note to Ezra:

with difficulty
the next paradise will come
through apocalypse

#haiku #poetry

i nudi rami
in continua espansione
abbraccia il mondo

the bare branches —
continuous expansion
embracing the world

#haiku #poetry

a second order
of beauty derived from a
strange juxtaposition

#haiku

poetry more spare less prone to adjectival excess first green shoot of spring

Iris shoot asserts
its claim to virgin spring turf
undeterred by snow
