lone call,

still, on a low fence wire

a bird I can’t name

after Soft Rains May Come

seeing, not seeing

the dented tailgate

the faded spark

©️Sbwright2023

beyond my power

the installer reschedules

at days end

forty plus

the paint and I

dry too fast

©️sbwright2023

inescapable heat

a gum branch tears itself away

from the trunk

scorcher

one prayer and two full buckets

on the Japanese maple

#HaikuADay #Haiku #FreeHaiku @freehaiku

noise cancelling earbuds

I hear nothing but the beat

of my heart

#Haiku #Freehaiku #Haikuaday @freehaiku

wagtail chatter

the teens fall silent

in the shade

©️Sbwright2023

spent verbena bloom

falling, I skin my knee

to miss the sapling
