borrowed words




there is already enough out in the garden to make a window-sill-scape.

it takes a while
for pebbles on the beach
to turn to sand


I find karumi
in Zen detachment
from the daily grind


in the flap
of a butterfly’s wing
our life has gone

These haiku sort of floated out from prose written by Annette Makino
Take a look at her lovely post HERE


Written for a prompt at CarpeDiem

What a gorgeous window-scape :)
Quite envious -- I never could get the hang of watercolors ;)

Sometimes "enough" is really abundance!
