Beautiful and true

Audrey de Witte @audjde.bsky.social · Aug 7

There are days
clouds obscure the sun
casting gloom
across earth’s surface.
It’s then
flowers shine brighter
echoing the sun‘s brilliance,
a reminder that
the gloom will pass.
We too, when
cast in gloom,
remember the echoes
of that which gives life,
until the gloom passes.

Through the open door
the deep blue ocean and sky

Nice!

and "He bloometh not by design, but by defiance"

is a great line! And now I'm going to feel even more guilty when I have to mow the lawn this weekend! :-)

Tom Sterling @tomsterling.bsky.social · Jun 11

This is not my world,
but until the mower comes,
I’m going to rock it.

Full moon’s cold shadow.
Rivulets of red clay splash,
In an empty grave.

#Haiku is alive!

Reading this haiku by Tom Sterling, we heard *In My Life* by the #Beatles. Tom's words need no comparison, they stand on their own. We've got a #HaikuCrush on Tom and the Fab Four!

Guitar strumming on the porch.
Summer night at home.

We can't open the front door.
