Rain taps the black soil
Water fills ceramic bowls
Green peeks from clay pots
—–May 15, 2016
Gray moisture today
Yesterday, yellow sunshine
Green plants grow happy
—–May 21, 2016
Weeds pulled earlier
Leaves pop from the soil revealed
Promising flowers
—–May 28, 2016.
Green on rich brown soil
Yellow petals springing up
In joyful greeting
—–June 8, 2016

BIO: SHASTA HATTER is returning to poetry after an eighteen year absence. In 1998, she started taking a medication that let her function but seemed to strip away her poetry. In May, 2016 she decided to write a haiku every day for a month. This discipline gave her back her poetry. Recently, she has been published in Setting Forth, Haiku Journal, and 50 Haikus.
BIO: HUMAN DISTORTION is a modern shaman who is helping to heal the divide between (hu)man & nature through art, music, & writing. His links are https://www.Facebook.com/humandistortionart , & https://www.society6.com/humandistortion
