this small pale blue leaf
dotted with melted snowflakes
waiting for winter
and beautiful thoughtful words from my generous friend dan
blue leaf wears water
jewels reflecting the sky
gives upside down smile

Beautiful little blue. And your new header is stunning!! Hope you're enjoying your Saturday, my friend.

willow - it's sunny and warm and i have just finished a major school job and so i am getting my lycragear and stuff on and heading out for a ride!!! have a lovely afternoon at the manor. steven
dan that's a stunner of a haiku. wow!!! i wanted this little leaf to have a small tight piece of writing with it and a haiku came to mind but i have so little practice writing them that it hasn't got the thought loop i love about really good haiku. thanks for yours. steven
I never thought about melting snowflakes before looking so lovely and round...I always think of them as slush. :)
Thanks for this one.
I love the water drops on the leaf... stillness, waiting.
