late summer garden
and the lake in sun
blessings of friendship

late summer
one daylily blooms
in the garden

after the storm
bird on a branch
of the broken tree

WestWard Quarterly, Summer 2022
late afternoon
blue and grey colors
along the horizon
weather rests
winter storm
snow covers patio doors
framed by holiday lights
in the house
The early mornings inspire poetry. I sit quietly for a time. Today I looked for poems about the stars in my archives.
stars in the night
and colors
of garden mums
in the rain . . .
new poems begin
night sky
seeing stars
through leaves
short days
stars brighten
winter sky
the same poems
for the rest of my life
stars and tree branches
another sunrise
Haiku Lesson Note:
Our Haiku Awareness Plan for Grades 3 – 4 at The Haiku Foundation features a beautiful haiku about the prairie and stars by Billie Wilson.
As stated in the lesson, “For this Haiku Awareness plan, we feature haiku from the anthology, Montage: The Book, created and edited by Allan Burns (Winchester, VA: The Haiku Foundation, 2010, 2012).”
