Legend of Velda

haiku

Random moods and thoughts
squished into tiny boxes
of five-seven-five

  • Undoing

    An old garden shed
    wears years of sun and seasons
    colors never planned

  • Farm Strawberries

    A pint of berries
    too sweet to survive the drive
    never made it home

  • Wildflowers

    Imagine living
    without asking to belong
    like wildflowers do

  • Hoar Frost

    January mist
    iced the forest with barbed wire
    that melts at first touch

  • SparkleWeb

    She quietly waits
    in her glittering disco
    for the dance to start

  • Starting again

    All good things must end.
    Good things have beginnings, too:
    here’s to what comes next!

  • Mirror

    Between earth and sky
    reflections float and flow by
    quieting my thoughts

  • That time I accidentally fell in love

    Just when I thought love
    was the stuff of fairytales
    I found out it’s real

    (more…)
  • Sparklers

    Tiny shards of light
    frolic against the darkness
    calling us to hope

  • Dandelion Time

    Fierce little flower
    chases chills out with its roar.
    All hail summer’s king!

  • Hippotato Sprout

    Sprouted potato
    Or multi-headed dragon?
    Earth decides its fate.

  • Puschkinia scilloides

    Blossoms yawn awake
    still in their striped pajamas
    sweet sleepy flowers
