Haiku

                       PARIS CAFE IN DECEMBER

                       intermittent rain–
                       coffee and tobacco smoke
                       from an open door

                       a wailing siren –
                       beyond the streaked glass
                       no promises

                        damp wool and steam–
                        the holiday restored
                        with a brandy

Modern Haiku, spring 2005

Haiku



                                  snowy afternoon
                               a slow accumulation
                                      of desire

                                           ice floes
                                                following the river tide–
                                                     it is what it is

Tanka


               
                                 anticipation
                                 slipping in with the cold
                                 of December;
                                 like a child I plan and dream
                                 and polish my sparkle

Moonset, spring 2010
