This spring evening Sipping wine, anticipating Cool beer in summer. #haiku

Quiet pool at night A leaf falls on dark water Stars ripple and dance #haiku

Wind-stirred blossoms Warm coat is welcome as I Walk on the new grass #haiku

Brick walls dark windows Cold stone and glass seem warm in Golden sunset light #haiku

Clear and sun-lit pool Watergrasses dancing blades Unseen in shadow #haiku

The passing shower Leaves a dark puddle holding One cherry blossom #haiku

A cold northern wind Stirs blossom laden branches In the bright sunshine #haiku

Coyote at dusk Little child of the night makes Beautiful music #haiku

In spring evening One frog calls all around him To start the chorus

When the packed snow thaws Old footprints disappear and New tracks do not last. #haiku

Dark frost-heaved earth Around the cut stem of the Last winter cabbage #haiku

Passing in moonlight The hunting owl's flight is heard Only with the eyes #haiku

Cold winter morning From vanishing shadows comes The sparrow's new song #haiku

Breath is a cold fog That vanishes so swiftly In the morning sun #haiku

Sunlight reflected From frost-rimed leaves sparkling With many colors #haiku

Rain falls unhindered Through autumn bared tree branches Onto leaf-strewn earth #haiku

The fallen leaves that Rustle on the forest floor Still echo the wind. #haiku

Soft wind drives the clouds Like tree-leaves drifting, turning On placid waters. #haiku

Waxing crescent Moon Sheds light upon the path but Does not dim the Stars.

In a twilight wood I walk in a cool green calm on this summer night

savoring warm tea under blossom laden trees on this cool morning

Green grow the new leaves on branches that no longer are winter barren. April.

Well. 4 months on BlueSky, and I have somehow acquired 41 followers. ...without ever having posted or replied.

My first thought was that without reason to follow me, they are mostly crap 'bots - as they are on Xitter, where I routinely scrape them off like barnacles.

But I thought a bit: this is a new(ish) site, and hopefully an alternative to the 3 ring flaming dumpster circus that is Xitter. Engagement shows interest, and increased interest can attract new users -and advertisers.

So, I guess I'll have followers, for the good of the site. I may even post some content; 'Skeet' as it's called, because apparently 'busk' isn't cool enuff.
