Haiku-a-day
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.

Haiku-a-day
A Trumpeter swan in winter floating on a river.

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

Haiku-a-day
Frozen water bubbles in a river, one broken.

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

Haiku-a-day
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.

A frozen creek in winter with late day light.

For Jerry

This time of bad news,
the creek takes another form
in the fading light.

Two white-tailed deer stand in a thicket in winter.

This time of bad news,
white-tailed deer stick together,
wait for us to pass.

a wedge of Trumpeter swans
gliding unbothered.

Haiku-a-day
A single deer track on ice.

This time of bad news,
cold deer leave tracks on the ice
like small splitting hearts.

Haiku-a-day
A close view of iced-over air bubbles on the surface of a frozen river.

Ducks hunt for acorns
on the iced-over river —
they roll and chase them.

Haiku-a-day
Bare forest trees with late-day blue shadows on the snow under a low sun.

At home in these woods —
the late day, blue-shadowed snow
displaces worry.

Tree shadows on the snow under sun.

In these frail shadows
birds congregate and chatter
in my mother’s yard.

A handsome black and white dog in a snowy forest with perfect snowflakes on his nose and head.

The perfect snowflake
on my dog’s black fur eye patch —
the endless forests.

The moon in a clear blue morning sky.

Seven-below moon —
I’m small, cold underneath it
in the blue morning.

Animal foorprints on the snow on a frozen river.

Still and Sunday-like,
ice locks parts of the river,
animals walk it.
