A Fresh Start: Morning in the Garden

a sunbathed morning

after a night full of rain

a new day opens

Live for the Love of it,
Sasha A. Palmer (aka Happy)

After the Storm

It must have been a perfect slant

Of sunlight, or the twinkling chant

Of droplets – spare change of the rain –

Drip-dripping off the glossy plant,

That made us see we stood to gain

A fortune that we’d been insane

To miss; a treasure-trove of mirth,

As we searched elsewhere, here in plain

Sight lay, for all its precious worth

For us to claim by right of birth,

A pot of gold filled to the brim

Beneath the rainbow welkin – earth.

Live for the Love of it,

Sasha A. Palmer (aka Happy)

October haiku

water droplets fall

having wandered the tall skies

return back to earth

It's a gray, rainy first day of October. I love autumn, and rain, but I miss summer today.

This garden sculpture is alive. The expression of this being changes all the time. 

(Don't blink! "Doctor Who" fans will know what I mean.)

My angel is kind.

Live for the Love of it,

Happy

Poetic Asides Poem-A-Day April Challenge Day 10: "How..."

how soft is this morn

carrying yesterday’s storm

how gently it treads

how rich is the grass

heavy with silver droplets

the price for the sun

how full is this world

a vessel filled to the brim

careful not to spill

Live for the Love of it,

Sasha A. Palmer ("Happy")
