Stirring

Accepting the lack
Found comfort in ordering
Stirring the tea leaves

DO THE FIVE

help stop coronavirus - public service senryu

real danger that lurks
moments of forgetfulness—
wash your hands often

real danger that lurks
moments of forgetfulness—
cough into elbow

real danger that lurks
moments of forgetfulness—
stop touching your face

real danger that lurks
moments of forgetfulness—
stay six feet apart

real danger that lurks
moments of forgetfulness—
feel sick then stay home

🌱new growth🌱

Mist of eager green
Tiny understory leaves
Signal life's return.

I always love the stage of growth where all the trees are still black and leafless but the tiny undergrowth shrubs have just started putting out their first leaves and the green hangs like a fine mist around the base of the trees in the forest. 💕🌱🌱🌱💕
