graceful fragile flocks
cirrus clouds over cities
blown by winter winds

red blanket flowers
golden edges echo shades
of summer sunsets
in a quiet space
dark shadows dance and light sings
on a summer morn

disappear beneath the waves
rise renewed in spring

smiles in shades of gold and gray

a placid ocean
embraces rocky seastacks
sculptures of the wild
northern winds swirl, sting
snowflakes dance, drift, and alight
kisses of winter
seek a firm anchor
when misty fog surrounds you
dawn will show the way
fable of the fox
who crept too close to a fire
enlightened and singed
sheepherder’s wagon
rolling across windswept plains
steady sentinel
the path meanders
up a rocky desert butte
embraced by spring clouds
delicate feather
propelled by whispers of wind
settles on snow drifts
dragons breathing fire
over magical snowscapes
on the edge of spring
diaphanous strands
a colorful serape
muffles winter’s chill
Online Writers Guild (OLWG) – #242 – A colorful serape
blue worlds drift away
scattered by the winds of change
winter’s eve draws near
the wisest ones wait
impatient trembles of green
longing for fall’s kiss
scarlet embraces
gold whispers, orange laughter
autumn’s fleeting love

pushed by hot magma
through ancient layers of rock
the pull of dawn’s light
Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt Challenge # 371 – Pull and push
souls from the past send
wispy notes in azure skies
smiles of summer sun
creatures of the mist
graze in meadowlands of steam
whisperers of warmth
rise swallow the wind
rapid plunge trailed by bubbles
joyful rays of sun
within a small seed
a tiny new life slumbers
awakened by sun
emerald limbs stretch
stems lengthen and reach skyward
embraced by springtime
softness in the skies
adrift over layered tuff ring,
white veils eclipse sun
Skyscapes from Fort Rock, Oregon.
bound by ancient roots
branches sway in desert winds
old one’s last winter
Captured by frost spikes
Struggle against winter’s grip
Glints of sun, released
Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt Challenge #341 — Frost and Glint
This year I went on a quest with the goal of finding fall colors. Here’s a 4-part haiku story based on pictures taken on the Mount Hood Scenic Byway in Oregon.
Deep in the mountains
Mount Hood surveys the landscape
Anticipation
Draped in mossy robes
Rooted in shades of autumn
Fall’s gala begins
On a distant shore
Rushing away from the flow
Resting in the ebb
