how the day begins and ends
It’s a dark-gray day
there are green and brown to see
the sky scoured of blue
hear and see my friends
share a meal of smell and taste
touch the hours away

and is it so green
and is the solstice coming
and shall Earth tilt near

impulsive nature
it beats to creation’s rings
first invocations

the green is greener
summer lush is on the way
so much trying growth

nebulae give birth
we have stars like tree buds’ spring
there are so many

we hear the wind name
when it’s bright enough to shriek

we are grateful for
what we have and what we use

I should say something to this
month of poetry

for Poetry Month (that this has been)

intimate grandeur
how nature gives then displays
graces for senses

I’m thankful for Literary Revelations Publishing House (https://literaryrevelations.com/) that will be publishing haiku of mine with those of others, a book on the theme of soulmates
I am in pain evidently from compressed nerves, better from medication, though still hurting
I have an operation set for 6 May; the device implanted and connected to my heart will be replaced, at least the electric part will be, as it’s time
I’m still breathing bad in my place that is infested and in the long and complex process finding and affording somewhere else to live
and how are you today?
the haiku above to me seems a little rough but says what I mean to say; what’s more important is what the verse might say to you
thanks
all of you
so much
