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
