Haiku: Time

It will be time
when the time is right.
Smell the blossom

Haiku: Beholder

a rose flowering,
and there is blood on my hand;
I will not touch it

across the rose fields
autumn birds are gathering –
petals flop to ground

Copyright Francis 2022

a soft westerly
drys the line of dancing sheets –
rose petals tumble

Perfect lotus blooms
when she is ready to show —
now our time is ripe
