haiku: sleepy eyes

a simple flower

sprinkled red upon the land

sleepy eyes of spring

 

haiku: ancient melody

the sounds of the sea

draw sweet music from my heart

ancient melody

 

haiku: birthday party

a birthday party

twenty-two-year-old daughter

celebrates the day

 

haiku: prayer

Cypriot woman

prays to the Father, the Son,

the Holy Spirit

 

haiku: spring hope

almond branch blossom

late winter’s sign of spring hope

resurrection life

 

haiku: a safe place

dreamy heavy-eyed

does always testing the earth

for a sweet, safe place

 

haiku: alcove by the sea

alcove by the sea

morning light, clouds, and God’s voice

upon the waters

 

haiku: dancer

little girl grown up

still dancing before the sun

and the clapping leaves

 

haiku: the gates of sunset

lavishly adorned

the gates of sunset swollen

ample as the sea

 

haiku: savoring life

savoring the salt

of simple pleasures sprinkled

altruistically
