Garden Hose Haiku

Verdigris patinated copper pot holding a coiled garden hose near carriage barn entrance.

A coiled garden hose,
a verdigris copper pot,
sunset puddling…

— Geo Davis

Some moments are captured best with wordy reflection, others with a watercolor. Sometimes a it takes a photograph or a lyric ode. But best of all is an instant, a glance, a gasp… The briefest of moments. The ellipses suggesting an interstitial moment.

This verdigris patinated copper pot concealing a coiled garden hose, warmed by a splash of setting sun offered itself up as a haiku. It was not my place to question or resist.
