A black and white dog rolls on his back in the grass on a sunny day in May with the person who loves him most.

The scent of the earth,
the scent of the earth in May —
we’re both in the grass.

Haiku-a-day
A black and white dog sits comfortably on a couch with his front legs outstretched looking thoughtfully at the person who loves him most.

In my mind you’re there,
stretching happily, paws out,
asking me what’s next.

A black and white dog stands next on a wooden path next to a pond in a spring forest with the person who loves him most.

Spring leaf bud casings
cover the floor of the woods,
soft under your feet.

A black and white dog stands to the side of a path through a snow-covered forest on a midwinter day with the person who loves him most.

In midwinter snow
turned blue we walked the long path
just a year ago.

A black and white dog stands stands in a forest on a snowy day with snow on his nose with the person who loves him most.

We were out first thing,
curious for the new day,
thankful, together.

A small smoothly shaped piece of ice on a branch at the edge of a deep forest at sunset.

Are you in the ice,
balanced small on a branch,
reflecting the woods?

on a path we took often,
quiet, together.

My mother’s plum tree,
around it we were complete:
sun, grass, wrens, zinnias.

about to take flight.

you were intent on the woods
and leading us through.
