The farmers' market was berry-beautiful this morning, which is a fine thing for this Labor Day weekend's Blog Party BBQ hosted by KarenG. Share virtual goodies and meet new blogging friends. There's always room for more.
I'm also totally in for Stephanie Thornton's Haiku Blogfest. This is Day 2, and I'm dishing up several pictures and poems.

their needle-sharp thorns
couldn't save the plump berries
from ravenous hordes.

*
old secrets lurk in
layers of stoney timelines--
a silent tick-tock.

I live in California earthquake country and wrote this with earthquakes on my mind. My blogging buddy, Wen Baragrey, lives in Christchurch, New Zealand, and had a terrible fright when they were jolted fiercely by a 7.1 quake. She wrote about it here. I'm sure she'd love to get some virtual support from anybody who cares to drop by.

I would drift like sea
foam out past snowy breakers
to the endless deep

This one is closest to where I am right now in both spirit and my WIP. I need the ebb-and-flow. I need to be lost in vastness. I need to see where the tide takes me.

Happy holiday to those in the U.S. and happy weekend to all.

Stopping by for Karen's BBQ with some fried chicken and pop. Hope you are having a great weekend!
Lovely haiku.
And the berry pic...you've made me hungry.
Have a great weekend.
Loved your last haiku. I hope you're riding the snowy breakers back to shore soon.
Those berries are mouth-watering!
I hope you get to enjoy the ebb and flow with your WIP this weekend!

Do you have a chapbook of these ready to go?? I love the silent tick-tock. And having just returned from working at a farmer's market, the first one was very nice. But the last one, if that is where you need to be in mind and spirit, than that is the best one. It's the thrill of writing, letting the words take you out to sea. Happy Labor Day and thanks for the links.
Ahh, you've made my day. Each and everyone of these is a jewel. I, too, feel closest to the sea right now. Only time will tell if I'm moving purposefully with the ebb and flow or just adrift.
I've been without TV and computer and just heard about the earthquake this morning. The photos are horrifying. My heart goes out to Wen. Let's hope she can go home soon.
