April Haiku
through the fog
splashes in the creek
and muffled quacking
persistant wind
forsythia blooming
in a crystal vase
warmer days
reflections on the pond
between ice floes
Dragonfly, Jan, 1976

Haibun
My Winter Muse
You flit in and out, teasing me with promises, freezing up
or vaporizing like mist all too quickly.
I search for you in the woodlands.
The trees naked and dark under a slate colored sky. Branches and limbs tossed and tangled on the
woodland floor. Last year’s leaves sticking to patches of old snow.
Horses in a muddy field wearing blankets, one a bright blue
and gold plaid, glowing in the cold winter sunlight. Beyond that field, another. Dairy cows, their black and white hides
splattered with mud. Uncaring, except
for munching bales of hay spread on a raised platform.
Rain and more cold. The singing stream chokes up at an ice dam where a tree has fallen.
sleepless hours
listening for wordsin the wind

Haiku Sequence
Demolition
Day
still seeing curtains
starched and blowing
the boarded windows
littered asphalt
the blue-white hydrangeas
just a memory
waves of dust rise
with the crumbling house
faded snapshots
"I'm home, I'm home"
a child calls from down the street
I look back
Bottle Rockets,
spring 2004
