April 6 Haiku: Daylight Increasing

dark blue sky at eight
translucent remains of day
behind puffy clouds

day flows into night
extra chill on the keyboard
what waits outside?

sliver of new moon
rising above the highway
april chills your neck

clothed in sleep you rise
angry rain spits at the pane
surprisingly warm

still the cruellest month:
bare-bones hills and chilly winds
merciless sunshine

sun shines on first snow
bright from the dramatic sky
winter blue, pine green

cold earth longing for
a warming blanket of snow
frozen moss, still green

leaves against grey sky
winter’s chill but still yellow
carpeting the ground

standing on sunshine
while all around you winter
winches tight its grip

pale blue ice still soft
cold wind, burning exposed cheeks
alive again

The pond at dusk
Voices carry over the water
Stillness

Human and goose words
Dramatic sky reaching
colors of my mother’s scarf

Laying in the grass
High summer breezes, tall trees
Rustle in the wind
