Push firmly on keys
Watching strikers hit paper
My story begins

Haiku No. 155
Lone cloud standing guard
Protecting the mountain top
Preparing to strike
-
Haiku No. 154
Sandy dry creek bed
Quiet steps, still mountain air
Deafening silence
-
Bird on a Wire
Strung across the line
Bodies perfectly balanced
Birds perched on high wires
-
Haiku No. 152
Cold spring morning fire
Sunrise obscured by damp clouds
Dew holds on to hope
-
Haiku No. 151
Fog descends from high
From low from all directions
Wraps us in stillness
-
Haiku No. 150
Feet flexing in sand
Body shivers in crisp air
Ache for starter’s gun
-
Haiku No. 149
Watch ancient trees pass
Hear my breath as feet shuffle
It’s calm on the trail
-
Open Water Starting Line
Bodies grope, legs kick
Churning water surrounds me
Break free from the pack
-
Freestyle
Reach long with the left
Pull back, propel forward, kick
Reach right, head left, breathe
