hurricane rain
floating leaves
in the wheelbarrow
Month: November 2019
climate change rally
a toddler secure
on his father’s shoulders
a ruckus of crows
outside the polling place
all-day fog
cicadas drone
one campaign promise
after another
razor sharp
with his divisiveness
wrapping
the border wall
in concertina wire
overcast sky
the census taker asks
if I live alone
Veteran’s Day
he salutes with his
missing hand
a fawn at the heels
of a lame doe
sun mixes with rain
afternoon sun
an oarsman breaks
another cloud
(Originally in A Haze of Infinity, the London haiku group anthology, 2017)
autumn leaves more sky
unmarked grave …
a thousand red maples
offer their leaves
(haiga)
belonging
where I don’t belong
giant sequoia
outlasting
everyone she loved –
heartwood
the slit
in a cicada’s husk
hospice garden
narrowing arteries —
my friendship circle
dwindles
her good days…
scattered sunlight
in the garden
autumn afternoon…
I walk around inside
a Van Gogh
bubbles
scattering
children
grackles
the teen boys
raid the fridge
iced melon
a granddaughter’s grin
overflows her face
crowded sidewalk
briefly
part of a family
