A thin flower stem
withering in sun and wind;
standing ground, strong

Rake the red hot coals
of the fire; it's burning
below the surface

from the gloom
a barred owl hoots
his classic tune

Bathing in the light
of the long Winter Moon,
closed eyes for dreaming

Not rutabaga -
but rooted, with bright white flesh
and greens: the turnip

#SmallPoems #DailyHaikuPrompt

Some mornings, I look at the prompt and go, huh. Like this morning: turnip. I had to learn a bit more about turnips, which we do eat in strews etc but I never gave them much thought. One thing I learned is that in some regions, the word turnip refers to the rutabaga, but they are not the same thing.

Dawn, on a clear day,
breaks so gentle, unfolding
in iridescence

behind the moonrise
infinity waits — unseen,
unfathomable
