June Haikuthon 30th day

June 30

shy young girl -
a wildflower peeks
from a windy field

June 29

in no breeze
the slow bend of a grass blade
- ladybug

June 28

just
a flick of the cow's tail
- morning stillness

June 27

horsefly
into my morning shade
- my honey-do list

June 26

bluebells
perfect in the morning sun
-a sunday choir

June 25

an evening fog
fills the valley
- after the quarrel

June 24

my bloated pond -
a poem trickles
onto a new page

June 23

enduring drizzle -
an american beauty
finally succumbs

June 22

morning rains...
everything
sleeping in

June 21

midstream -
the cool splash of ferns
on the path

June 20

riverside willow -
one lolling hand
from the canoe

June 19

wild strawberries -
the good things
she sees in me

June 18

near the solstice -
an old man slowly rises
from his rocker

June 17

midday sun -
my shaded cat
yawns a welcome

June 16

an east wind -
the underside of maple leaves
before the rain

June 15

summer pond
countless dragonflies weaving
- a sale at the mall

June 14

rain soaked path -
splotches of petals
from a bowing rose

June 13

overcast day -
pervasive shade
within and without

June 12

summer begins...
roadside day lilies arcing
- fireworks from the lake

June 11

poplar leaves -
the sound of wind chimes
on the summer breeze

June 10

after the rain
the sharpness of colors
- a cricket starts up

June 9

graduation day -
the plastic swan in the pond
with a tassled cap

June 8

morning dew -
the spider's web
all too obvious

June 7

fireflies
in my darkened field
- back porch musings

June 6

a reading lamp moth
interrupts me
- its powdery wings

June 5

village church bells
clearer this morning
- a cloudless sky

June 4

the road home -
a caterpillar
halfway

June 3

a light rain...
the morning luster
of wet crows

June 2

odd...
how the butterfly's path
straightens in this wind

June 1

waves
across the hayfield
- a rusted harrow
