Spring Vespers – A Haiku

Persephone smiles
and the earth blooms, its vespers,
spring’s fragrant, first breath.

do not pay
to play but rather
play for pay

Essence #29

cooing dove, grey morning
perched above in mourning

Day 29’s Essence for Jane Dougherty’s Daily Essence Poem Challenge. You guessed it! Another dreary day in the mid-Atlantic, Blue Ridge Mountain valley. I love the sound of morning doves in the grey.


Essence #28

restless sleep, pale moonlight
no dreams to keep…long night

~kat

Essence #28 for Jane Dougherty’s Daily Essence Poem Challenge. When I can’t sleep, I wander outside to be with the moon and the stars and the lovely silence of the night while the rest of the world sleeps. It can make for a very long night, but sometimes…I write. 🙂

moments,

where infinity and magic
