Written for SenHai Saturday where our host,
Susi asks us to write a senryu and haiku using
the image shown below as inspiration.
~ Senryu ~
everyone else wilts
waiting for the sun to show ….
not this stubborn bloom
⌘ ⌘⌘
~ Haiku ~
storm-gray skies press down ….
aloe spears hold their small fires,
unwilling to dim

The Elephant's Trunk 
I like the image of the aloe spears holding fire and there’s nothing wrong with being a stubborn bloom- I think I’ve been accused of that a few times…

Such a hardy flower my friend … and a very apt song …
A Haiku for you …
“I watch the day age
Even the red cactus wilts
As the sun arcs high”
