quiet morning
the continuous beeping
of an auto alarm

Originally from California, Mike Farley writes from Red Lodge, Montana, where he recently retired with his wife Shirlee from their twenty years on a hay and cattle ranch. His poetry is rich with the images of the high plains, mountains, weather, wildlife, livestock, ranch work and outdoor recreation with which he is daily surrounded. Although he has contributed his work to many online haiku lists, he has never been formally published.

Happy new year! May you find stillness even within the beeping of a car alarm.
Happy New Year. Good thought for the beginning of another year. Thanks.
Loved the humor and the irony in this 'ku.
The glint of eyes slowly opening
behind closed wooden shutters.
I wish we had more of Mike's wonderful haiku. Mike Farley has just lost his battle with cancer. He was a great haiku writer, and a cool person to know.
