arithmetic...

Heat wave stressed leaves that fell recently on my verandah when the late afternoon winds began...
I arranged them in such a way that they appeared like a beautiful flower...


scrambled seasons
bewilder
yoked arithmetic


NOTE
In memory of Kat Creighton who loved the beach, the sea in New Jersey.
Her haiku blog was my ninth life.
Her gift from a friend, a seashell angel, was her most recent avatar on Facebook.


Kat died 15.1.14

ambiguous...

rain starts rain stops
heat wave sentence ends or
begins again


NOTE
Today is our 4th day of heat wave - over 40 degrees centigrade.
The photo is of my verandah this afternoon.
It rained for about 3 minutes.
The rain must have been direct.
The verandah section on the right did not get wet at all - roof overhang.

absence...

chilling absence of
blistering heat
magpie lifts a song


NOTE
In my south east Australian world, we are in our 3rd day of heat wave conditions
where temperatures are more than 40 degrees centigrade.
Friday promises to be our 4th.
This magpie arrived on our verandah and sang and sang as the evening temperatures dropped.
He was here till it was quite dark.
