Haiku-a-day
Two Canadian geese at a river's edge in later afternoon sun fishing for food.

Two geese in the sun,
one fishes and one stands guard,
hearing us pass by.

Seeds in a dried seed husk on a sunny day in winter.

March pulls out the seeds
from the field of dried seed husks —
the sun dazes us.

Haiku-a-day
A sun setting low in the sky behind a bare forest in late winter.

The late Sunday light
falls in these confiding woods,
making blue shadows.

Haiku-a-day
Two white-tailed deer in a thicket in winter, one reaching its nose to the other's.

Two deer cross, four wait,
the color of the forest,
gesture like a kiss.

A black and white dog in a bar winter forest path looking back.

The confiding path —
we loop through the blue forest,
wild things everywhere.

Haiku-a-day
The sun about to set behind a teeline next to a river iced over at the edges with shadowed snow on the bank.

The woods are all tracks
leading to the cold river
in blue-shadowed-snow.

A muste swan floats in a river in winter, ducks sit on ice at the shore.

Mute swan in winter,
she’ll take company of ducks
in the cold river.

Haiku-a-day
Two deer stand camoflauged in a bare thicket by a river in winter.

The light starts to fade,
golden across the river —
deer stand still, hidden.

The track of a deer in ice.

On the darkest night,
huddled in the cold thicket,
my tracks left in ice.

Long blue shadows on a frozen lake surrounded by forest.

This time of bad news,
our walking lake is frozen,
drawn with blue shadows.

A pair of Trumpeter swans on an icy river's edge with their gray signet.

One with neck folded,
two swans with their young signet,
like feathered ice floes.

Thick ice cracking on the edge of a river with the setting sun shining on it.

This time of bad news,
the river, mostly frozen,
ice breaks here and there.

A Trumpeter swan in winter floating on a river.

Head under my wing,
I slept in the snow last night —
color of the moon.

Frozen water bubbles in a river, one broken.

Death slows down the day,
the permanently unsaid —
the not to be heard.

Three Trimpeter swans float in a line at a river's edge in winter.

Along the river
our steps are matched by these three
silent winter swans.

For Jerry
