Late autumn sunset
cast shadows on a brick wall:

Written for Haiku Heights prompt #146 -- Joy.

Sunlight, on a whim,
Frames cracks in the limestone wall --
The yard work can wait.

Written for Haiku Heights prompt #96 -- light

words long presumed dead --
ashes released from an urn --
the first verse ignites

written for Haiku Heights prompt #95 -- urn

grass snaps underfoot
as a breathless Texas night

God breaks free from bricks, stained glass.
Despots, bow.

bask in a sun-induced trance
on Texas sidewalks

Storm-tossed,
I touch solitude's shore
-- there's room for all here.
