Surprise!

Earlier this week I was surprised to notice my aloe vera plant preparing to flower, an event hitherto unknown for this aloe vera plant! Something so unexpected called for a trio of haiku.

Windows needing washed

No matter to new-formed bud

Sunlight still gets through.

Day by day passing

nothing special. Only stop

and notice new life.

Years on window ledge

Uneventfully alive

Newness interrupts.
