HAIKU: BEWARE OF BRUISING

Butterflies

 

Butterflies on the mallow
deep pink and white
Captured on camera
there in mid-flight
It’s a beautiful thing
in my garden to see
although brief and short-lived
their longevity

Delicate

 

Spied a flower at the wayside
It wasn’t very big
Hidden there in old dry leaves
and a broken twig
Delicate and fragile it
exuded colour still

Fragile Beauty

I have seen the strength you have
To stand even if your weakness shows
Trying to stay up no matter what comes
Bearing up to what God only knows.

Haiku –

Frost

A delicate trust
spreads softly over the grass
dressing its sadness
