Oh, window tree branch
bending to my bedroom light
all these years with love
_______________
the way a curved branch
seeks to find the light in dark
bottom forest floor
_______________
morning glory first
to open to the sunlight
first one to let go
_______________
in her heart
his words of love
when we both let go
_______________
I would yank them out
all these weeds in my garden
but OH! what flowers!

Delightful poems. Bending to the light, with your words, is as captivating as the subjects you have drawn. Best wishes Ralph.
ReplyDeleteThese short forms are delightful, Robert. Nature pulls the strings to your heart; I can relate well to your final haiku...wild flowers are beautiful. All the best. // paul
