Two doves in the pines...

March 30, 2008

Two doves in the pines,
Sing to me and each other.
A mating couple.

Red honeysuckle...

March 29, 2008

Red honeysuckle
On the east fencerow today,
Reminds me of time.

The pines are my friends...

March 19, 2008

The pines are my friends.
They stand tall and they listen.
They whisper answers.

Two squirrels in the pines...

March 14, 2008

Two squirrels in the pines,
Chase each other round and round.
The world goes around.

The dawn sky changes...

March 14, 2008

The dawn sky changes
From moment to moment but
The birds stay the same.

It is freezing out...

March 8, 2008

It is freezing out,
But the frogs are still croaking,
Time and temperature.

I saw two otters...

March 7, 2008

I saw two otters,
Dead on the highway today.
Rare, dead or alive.

Oh starlings, starlings...

February 19, 2008

Oh, starlings, starlings!
The sky darkens with your flight,
Beneath the full moon.

There's nothing sweeter...

March 6, 2008

There's nothing sweeter
In the morning than sounds of
Birds greeting the day.

Barren winter fields...

February 17, 2008

Barren winter fields,
Marsh hawk flies low to the ground.
We are both hoping.

Crescent moon, Venus...

March 5, 2008

Crescent moon, Venus,
Together in the pink dawn.
My day is complete!

The Christmas cactus...

March 3, 2008

The Christmas cactus
Must be happy in this place.
It is blooming now.

The wild plum's blooming....

March 2, 2008

The wild plum's blooming.
Why does the coming of Spring
Take me by surprise?

The grass is sprouting...

February 29, 2008

The grass is sprouting
Across the bare dirt front yard.
Soon I'll be mowing.

Where are the haiku?...

February 29, 2008

Where are the haiku?
They have fled from me lately.
The rains come and go.

I try to be in...

February 20, 2008

I try to be in
The moment throughout my day
And throughout my life.
