  • Haiku No. 49

    Sky refracts pink light

    Clouds awash in purple glow

    Front Range morning bliss

  • Haiku No. 48

    Sunrise on east slope

    Purple mountain majesty

    Summit capped in clouds

  • Haiku No. 47

    Nose tucked under paw

    Curled perfectly in bed

    Cat nap after lunch

  • Haiku No. 46

    Tiptoe on wood floors

    Gentile with doors and cupboards

    Everyone else sleeps

  • Haiku No. 45

    Dancing through high clouds

    Upside down pull through the loop

    Thrill of solo flight

  • Risking

    We all take risks in life

    Our first step, our first bike

    The chase of something bigger

    We all fell, we all failed

    Most of us took more risks

    Our first love, our first sip

    The need to feel something more

    We got burned, we got bored

    Some of us stopped taking risks

    Our safe job, our safe house

    The thought of being stable

    We were content, we were conformed

    Few of us recalculated the risk

    Our dream life, our dream land

    The purpose realized and sought

    We fought, we found

  • Haiku No. 44

    Tread lightly on trails

    Deep breaths of sharp winter air

    Search for more than birds

  • Haiku No. 43

    Inwardly focused

    Even Earth orbits the sun

    Service is greater

  • Pelican Brief

    Floating overhead

    Flawless formation in flight

    Pelicans seabound

  • Haiku No. 41

    Rising tide big waves

    Paddle out channel wait for

    Second wave in set
