Just another haiku site. I have, until now, always posted my poems in with the rest of absolutely everything on my regular blog, white-pebble.net. Since I am not exactly profuse in my creative output, I have allowed both my writing of and posting of poems to get lost in the flow way too often. Hence, this blog. This one is for the poems. As for me, I am a baby-boomer in southwest Ohio who has been a poetry geek since the age of fourteen. I may add to this description later… Who knows? The scent of basil.

White Petals: December 2014
http://adelaide-whitepetals.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 24, 2014. Christmas afternoon at my daughter’s house. Lulled by good food, holiday music and family. Realizing too late we have stayed too long. As darkness descends—. Almost no indication where curbs are. We open the side windows to see better. Heavy-laden trees and bushes reach out to grab at the car and lash us. Can’t make a hill. We back down and try again. A longer run this time, but still not quite. Once more we back down and slide into a drift. The slow slog back. Blue on doors...

White Petals: August 2014
http://adelaide-whitepetals.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 29, 2014. A TRAGIC LOVE AFFAIR. He is born after his father dies and before there was a marriage. The boy’s grandfather refuses to acknowledge him publically, but agrees to provide for his education. In exchange, his mother is to remain silent regarding the boy’s paternity. The no name boy is given a name by his mother’s brother, a name which means fighter, for that is what he will have to be. Skinned knees and elbows. The boy dives into the sea. And comes up laughing. Finds a way inside.

Saturday, April 25, 2015. All the pastels of spring. In the sky, in the leaves, in the grass and flowers. The air, washed clean by rain, smells fresh with the richness of wet soil.
