footprints
the hollow boom of breakers
in the fog
Author: Mike Farley
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.
quiet morning
the continuous beeping
of an auto alarm
california sunrise
traffic in the canyon
begins to stall
