summer 2012

I ponder
the meaning of hope...
dandelion summer



a cobweb
sways in the sun —
my landlord's height



quiet pond —
dragonfly wings
stroke the sunlight



threading through
a weeping willow —
sunlit laughter



sunset colors!
I forgot to recharge
the batteries



Wipeout
the fly that made its last move
in my kitchen



spaces widen
between the clouds —
my unwritten letter

spring 2012

late snowfall
I search for yesterday's
spring feeling


opening day
another honey bee
finds the crocus
       The Haiku News


a tiny spider
in its tiny web...
distant thunder


so many smiles!
the buoyancy
of tulips


raindrops...
the sound
of Earth Hour


after the rain...
how many colors
in sunlight?


watching
his kite dip and soar —
too soon, nightfall


halfway through
my day of gardening...
weeds have a life too


one small cloud
aglow with sunlight —
pension day

winter 2011 - 12

a small town pauses...
the weight of winter grey
on a fireman's coffin


winter sun
the tallest juniper adorned
with waxwings


his dour face —
the snowy driveway
sparkles


faded valentine...
winter fog presses
against the window


box of keepsakes
     hoarfrost
reshapes the willow


my grandson's birthday —
another global threat
in the news


snow, sun, rain...
wishing I could wake up
the crocus
