end of summer haiku
August 21, 2010
dessicated grass
sends up dust when mowed;
the heat wilts leaves.
Continental Divide
July 26, 2010
Like a drop of rain,
eastward I flowed;
irresistible current.
haiku
June 2, 2010
in the grass
amid shards of glass:
amaranth.
haiku
May 22, 2010
one cause leads to the effect:
like coffee to poo;
like me loving you.
haiku
May 9, 2010
a cold breeze
rustles new oak leaves:
from somewhere the scent of lilacs.
haiku
May 7, 2010
the rain makes oily
rainbows in the parking lot;
the empire’s facade.
haiku
May 3, 2010
sky suddenly darkening,
wind bending branches–
i wait for the rain.
haiku
April 29, 2010
walking past
petals on a wet, black bough;
Pound on my tongue.
haiku
April 22, 2010
in the courtyard, a tree,
heavy with blossoms–
a light rain begins.
not the usual “bad weed” stench on my block tonight
April 13, 2010
Overdue sweet smells-
Lylac and budding tree leaves
Refresh Kensington.
haiku
April 9, 2010
she runs ahead
umbrella-less in the rain;
over her shoulder, smiles.
smell the glove
April 6, 2010
Dewy grass, sunrise,
the swirling echoes plodding-
My brothers’ feet.
haiku
March 28, 2010
over your shoulder,
in the latticed window:
the first shock of forsythia.
cool spring morning
March 23, 2010
still jacket weather
but painful no more;
let dreams of travel commence.
fish, greens, and rice
March 13, 2010
some days lunch just tastes
so much better and you eat
gratitude ’til full
