new year’s firework blooms
upon the Big Apple’s sky

bac

*
soaring high in sky
song from a nameless flower…
stormy life afar

*
golden purple joy
filling our Mother Earth’s cup
daisies guard outside

*
encircling bygones…
this demure water lily
under the moon-mist

*
Burlington’s garden
among popping poppies’ fires
artists’ wings and green

Another haiku contest (deadline June)
