lure...

courtship is all about sweet singing a lyre bird believes a raspy song is all about a warning of rights a magpie claims birdsong has a yin and yang and a few notes between a #lure of love or an announcement of territorial war or simply a song for a new day #vss365

a puddle
a muddy puddle
tempts most dogs

the leash strains
the leash snaps
success
for the dog
of course

a child
watches the dog
for just a moment
but the lure of
fun for two
overwhelms
rules

at times
play means
visible or
invisible restraints
are left
high and dry#vss365

the cosmos can be
a master painter
in puddled potholes

a moon
and her #moonglade
invite
cautious
reflection#vss365 #haiku #tanka

I'm a river flow...

I'm a river flow but nearby puddles of tears symbolise #regret #vss365 #haiku

rain soaked black and white days...

rain soaked
black and white days
a lone green
way out sign
offers dry humour#tanka
