Random bits of poetry

 While looking through my now barely-used Twitter profile, I came across haiku and a few other bits of verse. 


When still, my great lake

Reflects a calm myriad...

Superior blues



A sunlit sandbar

Waves rippling with molten gold

Feels like paradise



Lilacs and Lupines 

Bloom in my favorite shades 

Brightening my day


Lilac and Lupine

Blooms mark the seasons changing 

From spring to summer.



The rising sun shines

Over Lake Superior 

In a silver streak


The sun bruised the sky,

Rising over distant hills.

Light left in its wake.



Watch the rising sun

Chase away each twinkling star

I once wished upon.



Restless, 

I slip out.

Escaping my solitude,

Seeking more.

Moon called.



Looking up into the darkness, I see stars glittering.

And a Dipper overhead, tilted

As if it is responsible for releasing the sparkling snow in my winter wonderland.



The waning moon rose

With a golden, harvest glow

Fading to silver.
