more cosmos haiku










                                          great blue heron
                                           flapping across a white landscape
                                            my eyes did see

twice did i see
in collegeville
and in golden valley

thanks

and here's to the lady bug
braving the snow
and box elder beetles
(i saw one on the stairs
in the abbey church today)

inspiring
in spring
spring may yet come

though i embrace
nature's endless winter project

part of the new ethos of TESP
is the bowing in humble resignation
to the superior power of lady winter - her beauty pure as light itself

i didn't foresee this coming

but who am i to presume to dictate
the exigencies of the seasons

were you intending to write a haiku

it's one of the finest i've read in a long time

better than any photograph

i suppose i did have haiku in my mind
as i sought an adequate way to express
the beauty of what i had seen
