chemo leaving her cold the blanket flower bouquet

Haiga, by Janet Ruth

 

Janet Ruth

 wisps of fog adrift on the river two mergansers

—Janet Ruth

dark skies far across the prairie a ribbon of light

—Janet Ruth

Janet Ruth

ruby sunlight

in a jar of plum jam

last summer's gleam

—Janet Ruth

river of fog

floods the valley

my frosty breath

—Janet Ruth

Urban Harvest

a potpourri

of fallen leaves

each step

(sw)

strawflowers and dahlias

in the wedding bouquet

(j rap)

mulching the garden

with leftover hay 

sharp scent of rot

(jr)

soused cranberries

too much pumpkin spice

(sw)

kitchen step stool 

the fragrance of basil

dangling from twine

(j rap)

moving the parsley pot inside

before first freeze 

(jr)
