who am I but a stitch in time
what if I were to bare my soul
would you see me origami

Loved the word play!
Fading light
Vanishing sunbeams
In the horizon, may dusk
fall lightly on us

Damaged Haiku
If you get a cold
Because you are old
It isnīt the wold.

Loved the image. Yes, itīs a self consolatory poem, but the cold is getting better already, thanks!
Sleepy afternoon
Under the fading sunlight
the workers doze.

The village sleeps
one lonely rooster
advertises dawn.

lol... now I see it ! A neighbor used to have a rooster about 1/4 mile (0.42 km) away that seemed to crow all the time that echoed through our little valley.

their cheerful blossoms provide

Dutifully looked up gila monsters:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gila_monster. Ejoyed specially the bees' haiku.
Wild winds still abound
Without exasperation,
Tiny doves rest.

Lol... dutifully ? There's an old campy SciFi movie called "The Giant Gila Monster"... wikipedia: (spoilers)... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Giant_Gila_Monster
Enjoyed the Haiku... hoping the doves weather the storm.

Loath spiders, but this one is endearing.
Lazy awakenings
Mornings cold breeze
prevails, waves subside
Streets move their legs.

lol... I save spiders and get them out-of-doors with mixed results (currently recovering from obligatory spider bite).
Love "streets move their legs"... very urbane.

re: Spiders- (lol)If you really have to pet them, canīt you do it wearing those thick rubber gloves you surely have at home?

Somehow the town
