Civic flowerbed

brings nature to the city

for now, until cuts.

14/30 Quaking Grass

Swaying in the breeze,

paper-thin lanterns rustle

and I sing for joy.

10/30 Lady Hosta

Easy on the eye

soft curves with pale rippled skin

and this year no snails!

9/30 Bindweed

A loving caress

in no time at all becomes

a smothering choke.

8/30 Teasel

Fresh grown sun-drenched leaves

disguise needle sharp meat hooks

catching on my hands.

6/30 Yellow Flag

At the water’s edge

in small clumps of green and gold

waving at the sun.

Haiku 14

The broad beans are in

hope the savage winds abate

blustery cool May.
