After The Snow

the showers pour down
cleansing the earth of all grime
making rivers pure

Dear Grace

The serenity shines through, quiet (I would say "loud") and clear - lovely.

Love
Alan

Oh Lady Grace,

This poem is marvelously full of peace and beauty.  In so few words you've created a whole attitude in this reader.  I wish I'd written it!    cloud9.gif

Thank you for your kind words. A good evening yesterday inspired this piece.

Haiku (sea)

When dust of sunlight
Settles on the sea’s surface
It dreamily smiles.


Rainfall on the sea
A gentle windless day
Mood indigo.


Foam flecked sea
Galloping stallions chase dreams
On oceanic pampas.


Timid tears in a cove  
The old lovers sea and sky
Mourn their parting.

I've really enjoyed reading all these lovely haiku, friend!!  By any chance, do you live near the sea, or at least, have a deep abiding love for the sea?  I know I sure do!

Good read, here!

unblemished white lawn
on the line bright red track suit;
santa is dancing
