A Day on Daylight Savings Time

Crisis of the day

resolved by evening phone call.

Movie with popcorn.

Midnight Scrabble game.

Drowsy, drifting off to sleep,

soothed by pleasant dreams.

Awakening late.

Soulmate snoring beside me,

ticking of the clock.

Cozy under quilt.

Slowly, consciousness returns…

haiku on my mind.

Bright, cheery sunshine.

Birds sing morning melodies,

fly in for breakfast.

Haiku for Spring Days

Days growing longer…

Sunrise early, sunset late.

Let’s go for a walk.

Joyful butterflies…

Escapees from snug cocoons,

free to procreate.

Spring breezes, blue sky…

Vultures soaring high above

fragrant palms in bloom.

Ecstatic birdsongs…

Spring’s the time for building nests,

raising families.

Weeds bloom on the lawn…

Colorful table setting,

Honeybee Cafe.

Springtime, warm sunshine,

dragonflies on safari…

Iced tea on the porch.
