Haiku: Hummingbirds

Glisten in the sun

Beautiful male and female

Migrate to warm temps

Inflight male hummingbird

Haiku: Sedum

August begins bloom
Long lasting through November
Bumble bees delight

Blooming sedum in August
Many times overlooked, a profusely blooming Sedum in August

Haiku: The gentle climber

Graceful pink and white

A rose that travels upward

Resting so gently

Haiku: Wings in the Hurricane

Winds rage at their wings
Fly ahead or wait the end
Such a wrath on earth

Ready for the wind
Spread for Monarch Butterflies
Make a milkweed patch
