Transforming Skies

Sun-shot, spun gold clouds

graze the morning sky above 

stratospheric flocks

Grey-stained spitting sky

crackles with power and life

sending out the winds

In the Imaginary Garden we have been asked to write haiku for Transforming Fridays with Nature's Wonders.  This is National Haiku Day, so go crazy in 5, 7 and 5 syllables!

Sky Light

You and I, we build

a scaffolding of sighs

reaching to the closer clouds.

Our fears

are not of flying,

but falling

back to earth

with those

who go about their lives

as if the sky was only empty,

as if it did not contain wonders,

as if it was not the threshold

to heaven.

This is a late 55 for all the Toads and other garden dewllers over at the Imaginary Garden.

Sky Flowers

Sky flower melody

sings me back home.

I breathe deep the sweet perfume

of hope.

Written for IGRT where Hannah has provided some gorgeous inspiration and asked us to write that is somehow haunted and/or hungry.  Click on the link and check it out!
