Haiku

-
the door stands open
in steps sunlight, inviting
but I do not go

Haiku

leaves rake into heaps
the sweater now warms a bush
my tea has gone cold

haiku

-
the cypress waits for
wisteria to wake up.
too early in spring

haiku



Rags slouch in the street
I roll the window tighter
He gets a smile through


---------------------------------------



the raven hurries
from fog to fog vanishing
she does not have time



---------------------------------------



the sink full to rim
dishes patient as the sea
outlast me again




------------------------------



sparrows convene at
the empty feeder voicing
their entitlement

haiku



January rose
blooms among last fall's dead heads
last one, or the first?



---------------------------



a sip of green tea
passport to another place
day trip in a cup



---------------------------


snow on cedar boughs
one set of footprints leaving
only solitude



----------------------------



puddle water stilled
reflects bare maple branches
truer than the tree
