Colony insects
under the terras pavement
stronger than paving
(Every couple of years I have to repave it)

Dark eyes, black hair grey,
Brown, salt and pepper, crinkles.
Weird I’m called “yellow”.

darkness in hiding
elegance caught in pale swirls
the quiet house sighs

Settling Dust
When anger is spent,
and bitterness fades, will there
be anything left?

Four and a half months
Lily giggles, soon she'll have
Many things to say.
#DailyHaikuPrompt - Lily
#senryu #haiku
I have done one or two haikus related to my granddaughter and, her name being Lily, could hardly pass up the opportunity for another.
Our sparks ignited
Hot flames on bare wooden floors.
Hearts without a hearth.

hawk your tainted wares
your misogynist-told tales
so not buying that

a cup of black tea
bright with a slice of lemon
this first quarter moon
Urban red-tailed hawk
Scanning for her next repast
No pigeon is she

Endless green grass seas
Skylark song in a blue sky.
Respite on the steppe.

Eternal Flame
A light, set for you,
in the window of my heart,
in hope you'll come home.

Spider Web with Dewdrops - Aobram
Sun heated skin from

Summer rain freshens

Lady in the Rain - Aobram
Toes against warm skin.
The little devils creep close
Seeking warmth of calves.

My fate: to bear love
that cannot die, to my death,
and through the darkness.

My damp eyes and cheeks
Whenever you say “I’m home”.
Not crying. Melting.

though physical reach
falls short of aspirations,
my heart transports me
