Heavy rhythmic breath
Gravel crunches under feet
One more lap to go

Let’s Go Higher
Why not climb a hill?
Why not summit a mountain?
Why not go higher?

Haiku No. 173
Cool moist fog at dawn
Hangs low obscuring my view
Dark visions linger
-
Haiku No. C-172
Check ramp for debris
Shout clear, turn key, grip throttle
Cessna roars to life
-
Haiku No. 171
Feel tired and heavy
Evening sadness rushes in
Whisper of cravings
-
Haiku No. 170
Winding mountain road
Clings narrowly to rock face
Tree line up ahead
-
Haiku No. 169
Wings beat fast, head tucked
Little bird fights the gust front
Upwind battle won
-
Haiku No. 168
Red-headed finch lands
Curiously watches me
Friend, foe, food, or flight?
-
Haiku No. 167
Soft burble and hiss
Coffee steeps while I’m reading
Morning reflection
