Apple falls from tree
Newton (ouch!) takes notice
Comes up with law of gravity
while wearing a poultice
on the solstice

Solstice

Revel in the chaos,
dance to the divine complexity of the universe.
People who live not at the edge take up too much space

Summer solstice in June means sun will play
all day its longest; soon
it is coming on its way -
and this year on a Friday.

Shimmering in the heat of the sun
Time stretched golden landscapes
Summer solstice, sunrise to sunset
Yellow orb sinking in fluorescent sea

muddy past

mud and sticks mounded
before the solstice tinged moon
the old muskrat knew

Premium Member Lament For Summer

The summer solstice
in years past so much welcomed...
now there's foreboding:
soaring temps, wildfires, drought...
idyllic days are numbered.

Winter Solstice

a winter solstice   (Haiku)
heavy snow falling 
kids play happily with snow
they build a snow man

December Magic

December’s magic.
I don’t get mid winter blues.
Solstice party time
It’s a win win thing. No lose.
Time to croon ‘neath the icy moon.

Forgive Us For What We Do

“forgive us for what we do”


Hallowmas masked
as All Saint’s Day and
a Solstice as Christmas

for man and god’s
sake there never were 
any snakes living in Ireland

Premium Member Solstice Full Moon

Have you ever seen the brightest summer full moon so soon
In the half-overcast sunset long after a fine afternoon.
Shifting cloudy sky darkens as I walk home with my boon.

summer afternoons

hot breath of summer
 even the dark shadows sweat ~
  solstice stupor

sweltering doldrums
 heat waves rise on sallow breaths ~
  only the bees buzz

Premium Member Solstice

sun rolls cross moor top
barely strength to raise his head…
no shroud evident

canopy exposed
naked trees patiently wait…
wild wind shroud evident
