  • Haiku No. 28

    Wild wrecks with fury

    Contained enchants with beauty

    Conundrum of fire

  • Lift Off

    Push throttles engines

    roar rolling down runway pull

    yoke lift off crosscheck

  • Sleepless

    Turn, adjust, twist, roll

    Fluff pillow, give sheets a pull

    Sleep eludes in full

  • Haiku No. 25

    Grand tales, new and old

    Love, sadness, adventure, death

    Eyes open, dream gone

  • In the House

    Stuck in the house again,

      Where else could I go?

    I can see the mountains from here,

      But they have a dusting of snow.

    Locked in the house again,

      Where else could I go?

    I see a creek and two trails,

      Just beyond the back window.

    Trapped in the house again,

      Where else could I go?

    I watch the cars fly by,

      Heading to dinner or a show?

    Caged in the house again,

      Where else could I go?

    I’m mired in a sprawling city,

      What to do?  I don’t know.

  • Pizza Friday

    Power down machines,

    Week ends, goals met, fun begins

    Pizza Friday bliss

  • Haiku No. 23

    Snow crowns the mountain

    Majestic robe of timber

    King of the dawn light

  • Cutting Cheese

    Countertop crumbles

    Yesterday’s mess waits for me

    Did you cut the cheese?

  • Cat Wakes

    Quick quiet footfalls

    Scoff at food, ignore humans

    Cat kneads this morning

  • Careful

    Speaking with kindness

    Walking opposite of words

    Listen carefully
