Season Sunsets: A Study in Haiku


               Spring

        Pregnant cumulus
Blush, as fading light promises
     Tomorrow's rainbows.

             Summer

     Golden symphony,
That heralds the end of day,
    Previews tomorrow.

            Autumn

  Sparse and mellow light
Reminds a few tardy leaves
  That snow soon will fall.

            Winter  

   Cold stark winter sun:  
Shards that echo summer joy
    Comfort dying day.

Welcome, and Namaste

Greetings fellow travellers,

For you American friends visiting, you will notice that this old Canadian uses Canadian English in this blog: kindly bear with me. As I blog primarily on subjects that are vitally interesting to me, I appreciate all feedback.

As I tend to be a bit of a language usage freak, I will, as required, edit obscenity and rude comments. That said, I welcome your opinions and discussion.

May your Dharma be clear

Peace

"If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended:
That you have but slumb'red here,
While these visions did appear."
