Haiku - comfort

hard ground becomes

muddy transformation

as rain seeps

slow drip relief

soothes weary limbs

midsummer rain

gently swayed

in the birdhouse

wind gust lullaby

Haiku - shadows and light

nowhere to run
dark shadow overhead
little field mouse

cicadas serenade
moths on naked bulbs
drawn to light

dappling leaves
filter midday sun
