happy you tend to the garden
waking me daily with song
bringing cheer never sorrow
I find myself singing along
*
more work is there in the morrow
gather and fashion a nest
complaints never are filed
rarely do you stop for a rest
*
little one out in the wet storm
no jacket to fend off the rain
grateful for your reminder
sun always follows the pain
*
I take my pen sadly to paper
to write about someone I love
gone toward braodened horizons
taken gently to heaven above
*
spring raindrops
birds joyful refrain
tears fall freely
Today at Poet’s United the prompt is Birds.
This haibun is lovingly written for my father-in-law Robert who left us today.

Thank you for visiting Moondustwriter. One of the many exciting things I've had the honor of doing is writing and publishing in multiple genres (including education) in E. African for E. Africa. As a writer, it is a thrill to write for children (on all continents) who want to learn.
I've been part of the blogging community for more than 13 years. Some old timers may remember the award winning (2011 Twitter Shorty ) blog community - One Stop Poetry. I was the co-producer of that fast growing blog community.
I am a published writer, poet, artist and photographer. I have written, as well as edited, for periodicals, radio, blogs and fellow writers.
There are many facets to this moon - my joy is in meeting you!

What comfort we can find in nature – carrying on..repairing our nests.. i am glad she was there to sing and comfort as the tears fell.. sometimes there is a connection and understanding not complicated by to much thought and words.
