sunny again . . .
black cows in deep snow
by the gate

I live with my wife Shirlee on a cattle ranch near the little ski town of Red Lodge, Montana, and have been loving and writing haiku for several years now. I draw my inspiration from the images of the high-plains, mountains, weather, wildlife, livestock, ranch work and outdoor recreation which surround me daily.

  6. good poem & here’s one that i wrote
    after visiting your great state…

    Montana
    the space between the words of
    a great haiku

    i’m trying to juxtapose the wide spaces great
    haiku provide for reader interpretation with
    the small spaces between the words & of course the wide spaces of Montana.
