haiku selections

.

Just when I've reached the age when I truly appreciate each day,
they vanish far too quickly...(an excuse for not updating my blog!)
;)
Lary



another spring
same old creak
in the gate


grandchild's laugh
the accent of violets
on my tongue


birthday balloon
my knotted
breath

Roadrunner Journal May/07



spring pond
a raindrop passes through
its own reflection


wind chimes
a leaf and a butterfly
rise together


stonehenge --
the sunrise measured
in pixels

tinywords



red mittens
her laughter ahead
of the snowball

The Heron's Nest 06/07


crisp breeze
a gull's shadow breaks
from the pilings


"Grandma, a push?"
her sneakers scuff
the curve of the sky

Stylus Poetry Journal



summer pond
a duck circling a leaf
circling the duck


tree to porch...
a spider strings
sunlight


meadow wildflowers
an old fence post
leans low


paint brush --
my breath moves
a spider


midday sun
a rain puddle
returning home

Simply Haiku Summer/07



early snowfall --
I shake a spider
from my boot


distant train
a night breeze rustles
the blinds


his lined face
at the window...
fallen oak

Chrysanthemum April/07




early robin
flakes of rust
on the shovel

Frogpond Spring/Summer 07


distant shoreline --
silence catches up
with the train


radio talk show
mist rises between
headlights


scissors --
each dewdrop reflects
the rose

container ku

I enjoyed a blog called One Deep Breath, where Susan and Jennifer offer weekly haiku writing prompts.
The Dec. 10 topic is containers:


box of chocolates --
the spaces that held
the cherries



Christmas card --
the morning sun warms
my mailbox



autumn drizzle...
the nurse hands me
his suitcase

some recent haiku

sway
of the harvest moon
the barn door open

northern lights...
the distance between
words

suitcase packed —
the weathervane
points north

Roadrunner Nov/06



between the sky
and the spin of the earth
this falling leaf

Mainichi Nov/06

home at last
a full moon above
the garbage bin

Mainichi Oct/06




lace curtains
the spin of sunlight
from a bicycle

sunlight
grazes my fingers —
the first ripe peach

The Heron's Nest June/06






WHA haiga contest Sept/06
