Hopewell Valley Neighbors magazine: June ’23

The text (which is rather small):

riverside wedding --
the flower girl
picks a dandelion

periwinkle butterflies
carving the heavy perfume
of honeysuckle

late afternoon . . .
in and out of the sunlight
the cat's tail

Hopewell Valley Neighbors magazine: May ’23

The text (which is rather small):

cracked blacktop
maple seedling
sprouting

little kids
playing soccer
the goalie picks a flower

saffron smudges
in the evening sky . . .
birdsong

Hopewell Valley Neighbors magazine: April ’23

spring fog
weathered snow fence
sagging in a field

birds on a phone line
some this way
some that way

floating by:
milkweed seeds
and one white butterfly

New Jersey Botanical Garden haiku installation 2023

Anyone visiting the New Jersey Botanical Garden in April will see signs of spring — and signs with spring poems on them, too! :- )

A poem of mine is on one of them:

junipers
and the scent
of junipers
