  • Peaceful Run

    Mountain trail winds up

    Bright sun cool breeze serene sounds

    Peaceful morning run

  • Flytrap

    Deep dark rainforest

    Man-eating Venus flytrap

    Silently waiting

  • Haiku No. 35

    Pain takes many forms

    Sting, throb, burn, fog, can’t hold still

    Grabs body, heart, mind

  • Haiku No. 34

    Move across the world

    New job, make friends, scraping by

    What we’d do for love

  • Haiku No. 33

    Waves crashing ashore

    Wind guiding sailboat to port

    Natural power

  • Simple Gifts

    What do I want for Christmas?

    my children gather ’round to ask.

    Come closer and I’ll tell you,

    putting the little one on my lap.

    My son guesses a pocket knife,

    all those boxes to open and fold.

    My daughter guesses aftershave,

    so I don’t smell quite so old.

    Those gifts are all nice, I say,

    and maybe some dark chocolate, too!

    But all I ever really want for Christmas,

    are hugs and handmade cards from you.

  • Haiku No. 32

    Whistle tweets puck drops

    Sticks crack skates slash coaches shout

    Slap shot horn blares goal

  • Haiku No. 31

    Twisted cozy warmth

    Impossibly twisted up

    Perfect morning sheets

  • Two Moons

    White glow high and low

    Double beauty of full moons

    Calm lake reflections

  • New Moon

    Black ink sky no stars

    Hidden mountains lost landscapes

    Lifeless new moon night
