#art rose leaves: Peter Kend #haiku #rain

sunlight in young leaves threading through the green and gold one fat bumblebee

today the room blossoms in birdsong and pink 🌸

Consider the lilies of the field, the blue banks of camas gaze out above the grass from their tender blue eyes. Even in sleep your life will shine. Of course your work will always matter. Yet Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. #poem excerpt: Lynn Ungar #art Russ Cary

🌸 Twenty-First April On this wet day quietly generous, dogwood offers her coral skirts chickadees and cats accept her shelter β€” they know the consequence of weather. Fine rain ticks against my face until he calls me in for tea 🌸 #poem L.C. Goodwin #art Jen Huang #micropoem

πŸŒ• Ahead years unknown to be livedβ€” one by one, hours. In the hour held open between day and night where is the road? πŸŒ™ #poem excerpt: Carolyn ForchΓ© #art Moonrise, Skagit Valley: Rakan Alduaij

🌍 May the evening of this Earth Day be for you sweet as blossom touched with honey, be hopeful as each spring must be. May we refute doubt, discard despair, love one another brightly, softly, as petals fall through warming air. 🌍 #poem L.C. Goodwin #EarthDay #Resist

🌸 It is April Orion walks waist deep in the fog coming in from the ocean; The purity of the apple blossoms is incredible. All the day they roared with bees, in the moonlight They are silent and immaculate. 🌸 #poem excerpt: Kenneth Rexroth #art Nancy Devine #EarthDay

🌍 Now of the origins of happiness I have full knowledge. At a holy home place I indeed arrived, Now at happiness I indeed arrived Here it continues to be blessed Here it continues to be blessed 🌍 #poem excerpt: from the Diné Blessingway, as told by Slim Curley #art Adrian Popan #EarthDay

🌱 This we know, the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. This we know. All things are connected like the blood which unites one family. All things are connected. 🌱🌿 prose #poem Chief Sealth #art James Jordan #EarthDay2025

🌱 winter is gone a few days now, and the iron woodstove will go cold its black ledge a frame for the crystal pitcher spilling lilacs, perfume drifting through the house like music 🌱 #poem L.C. Goodwin #art Angelina Mi #micropoem

🌿 I have traveled along the contours of leaves that have no name. Here where the air is wet & the light is cool, I feel what others are thinking & do not speak, I know pleasure in the veins of a sugar maple, I am living at the edge of a new leaf. 🌿 #poem excerpt: Arthur Sze #art Lafugue Logos

β˜”οΈ Come in the morning where I wandered and listened To the rain wringing Wind blow cold In the wood faraway under me. But all the gardens Of spring and summer were blooming in the tall tales Beyond the border and under the lark full cloud. β˜”οΈ #poem excerpt: Dylan Thomas #art Floris van Breugel

🌸🌿 only for a moment β€” sākura white with grace 🌸🌿 #poem L.C. Goodwin #haiku #spring #art Vincent Ricco #micropoem

β˜€οΈ I went out on an April morning All alone, for my heart was high, I was a child of the shining meadow, I was a sister of the sky. #poem 🧡 1/2

🌱 I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. This shaking keeps me steady. I should know. What falls away is always. And is near. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I learn by going where I have to go. 🌱 #poem excerpt: Theodore Roethke #art Mariana Stefanova
