spring rain

young leaves give shelter

tender buds

mountain meadow
wild flowers bow in silence

clear river
rippled by summer breeze
she dips in her toes

first snow fall
sparrows wait in pine trees
until blue sky returns

night sky

Carpe Diem Special #220 Orion, a haibun by Dolores Fegan

~
When you live in cloudy Western Pennsylvania you think you’ve seen a sky full of stars, but you haven’t. It was on a trip to the high desert of Arizona that I saw the true wonder of a clear night with no pollution from shopping malls and street lights. A magnificent show that covered the sky from edge to edge.

blanket of clouds
removed from the night sky
thousand points of light
