HAIKU (Seven of Them)
Seven Wonders of BC In Our Own Backyard
Ocean spray shadows/ keeping time to wind music/ on white stucco wall
The feel of dewy/ night-cooled grass licking bare feet/ on dawn garden stroll
The sight of sunshine/ sliding down, glistening up/ just washed tomato
Bronzed arbutus bark/ crackling away from tree trunk/ tumbling lightly
down
Bevy of bushtits/ snuggled along a tree branch/ one backward facing
Wind-blown laundry/ snapping crisply on clothesline/ exclaiming dryness
Uncommon thunder/ catching breath, raising eyebrows/ memory of elsewhere
