la pluie verse l’énergie

terre sirote avec semence

moisson un jour

 

rain cascades life

earth sips for the seedlings

harvest one day.

Dawn breathes good morning
the robin spreads its wings
breakfast is the worm

l’aube respire bon matin
l’hirondelle étend ses ailes
brunch au petit ver

raindrops spill

Vent doux caressant
corps brulant et bronzé
fraicheur délassée

 Brunante paisible
brise venant de l’océan
somnifère d’été

les petits plongent dans le lac

comblé dans l’eau fraiche

Satisfaction -CarpeDiem Haiku #486

Lazy sunny day

sunbathing by the river

drinking lemonade.

paddle boats sculling

kids wading in the river

splashing, gurgling.

bullfrogs, motor boats

transistor radios

echoes of laughter.

scorching summer night

sitting on the balcony

hear the crickets sing.

sitting on the balcony

untying her kimono

gentle breeze caress

*

summers may promise

moments of delight and bliss,

desires quenched.

Soleil doré
rayonne le ciel bleu
nuages taquinent

golden glow
enhance a blue sky
teasing clouds.

(haiku)

Inhaling
nature, green beckons
childish fun.

&

Clicking on the menu
to start a new contact,
the story will ensue
we form a first contract
I listen and care too,
sometimes it gets sad
need to find a bit of glad
to maintain my strength,
then, my heart fills
with feel-good thrills…
soak up a fond venue
screen portrays this view…

Two soul sisters
in more ways than one,
resting on the stairs
soaking up the sun;
just seconds before,
they make a dash for
a game of
Tag! you`re It!
and Catch me if you Can!
a little friendly wrestle
growling in their
rounds of muscle
all in sisterly
canine fun.

Submitted for: PookyPoetry Prompt #30 – Screensaver. I often alternate with a screensaver at work from family photos of my mom and me, my grandson, my children, lovely street photos I took or loving pets. These are two sisters my son owns, taken on the back steps of his Rougemont home. I call these split second escapes when counselling on the phone to maintain a strong, comforting and engaging stance.
