Garden Haiku

time for lunch
cardinals by a pumpkin
in the garden

We bought pumpkins last year, and also received two as a gift. I loved the orange color as the gardens faded. Now they are in the snow, along with perennials that will grow again.

Thank you

Northern sun
shines on frozen beach
still the days grow shorter
shadow of poinsettia
on the wall

all a day can hold
sun and shadows
on the wood window frame
above my desk
in my small study
