dark blue sky at eight
translucent remains of day
behind puffy clouds
April 5 Haiku: Working Late
day flows into night
extra chill on the keyboard
what waits outside?
sliver of new moon
rising above the highway
april chills your neck
April 4 Haiku: Rising in Rain
clothed in sleep you rise
angry rain spits at the pane
surprisingly warm
April 1 Haiku: The Cruellest Month
still the cruellest month:
bare-bones hills and chilly winds
merciless sunshine
Solstice Haiku
sun shines on first snow
bright from the dramatic sky
winter blue, pine green
December Haiku
cold earth longing for
a warming blanket of snow
frozen moss, still green
November Haiku: Yellow Leaves on the Ground
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
Winter Haiku
pale blue ice still soft
cold wind, burning exposed cheeks
alive again
Spy Pond Haiku
The pond at dusk
Voices carry over the water
Stillness
Human and goose words
Dramatic sky reaching
colors of my mother’s scarf
June Haiku
Laying in the grass
High summer breezes, tall trees
Rustle in the wind
