Defining oneself
By yellow--fire element--
Heat and light or fear?

Orange is joyful!
Its water element brings
Us fluidity.

Season, element, color--
Affect the senses.

Of flowers reflects light to

Create subtle change.

flowers of summer

Flowers of summer,

Visibly too lush, welcome

Droplets of water.

haiku by Margaret

the wind / apple blossom / bleeding heart

Here the winds blows west ~ Fire, scorched, parched, hot to burning ~ Still a flower grows.

It's cherry pink and ~ Apple blossom at twilight ~ The breeze just wavers.

My heart is bleeding ~ In pulsing red-pink drops, out ~ On a line to dry.

It is assoociated with the head of the household and autumn. Its element is strong metal (all those appliances!), and its colors are white, gold, silver, and gray.

haiku by Margaret

Look for the Daffodil

Every now and again take a good look at something
not made with hands--
a mountain, a star, the turn of a stream.
There will come to you wisdom and patience
and solace and, above all,
the assurance that you are not alone in the world.

~poem by Sidney Lovett

2) Spring - creativity (orange)

2) Spring - creativity (orange)

Delirious on the crest of a wave,
Gliding in the midst of a cool, delicious current,
I luxuriate in a soft lofty breeze.
I smile. I laugh. I delight in my own renewal.

The renaissance which is spring
Cleanses the rigidity of winter:
Trees and flowers unfurl buds and leaves
Wearing the orange of creativity.
