Haiku-a-day
Milkweed seeds floating off the seed husk in springtime.

Diving off the husk,
milkweed seeds float off, nose up —
life of air and earth.

Haiku-a-day
Milkweed seeds tucked in their husk and ready to start releasing in spring.

Seeds embroidered in —
threads pulled out like stars to fly
on sharp April wind.

Haiku-a-day
A long view of a decaying tree on the forest floor covered in green moss in the sun on a spring day.

Cheer, cheer, cheer, cheer, cheer,
the cardinal, relentless
in these darkest times.

Haiku-a-day
A close view of lichen around a faint knot on the park of a paper birch tree in April.

Lichen at the knots,
wishes could be written here —
paper birch in spring.

Haiku-a-day
A male and female pair of mallards swim in a spring pool filled with relfections in April.

Their wake breaks shadows
cast across cold spring pools —
duck pair in April.

Haiku-a-day
A male and female pair of mallards swim in a spring pool filled with relfections in April.

Ducks swim in spring pools,
their beaks reflected make four —
above and below.

Haiku-a-day
Puffy clouds in the predawn sky with stars still showing above a tree just getting spring leaf buds.

Under dawn leaf buds,
there is no resolution —
the stars are still out.

Haiku-a-day
Puffy clouds in the predawn sky above a treeline after spring storms, blurred in a long exposure.

In this darkest time,
up before dawn, still thankful
for ecstatic skies.

Haiku-a-day
Puffy clouds in the predawn sky above a treeline after spring storms.

The sky has been scrubbed,
songbirds are back to singing —
worms on wet pavement.

Haiku-a-day
A small lake with late afternon sparkes on it with cattails in the foreground.

The lake unfreezes —
I could sink in these cattails,
sun warms my shoulders.

Haiku-a-day

Picked out of the lake,
a fossil or a mountain —
in my hand it’s both.
