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.

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.

A small abandoned bird's nest built in the thicket of a marsh in early spring.

Vacated last fall,
a nest as big as my palm
in the cold spring marsh.

A small splitgill mushroom growing with lichen on a fallen branch on the forest floor in eary spring.

It gets lost, hidden —
this life isn’t long enough
for all the beauty.

A small growth of green moss lit by later afternoon sun in eary spring.

Light fills the soft moss —
it becomes monumental
on the ancient branch.

Late afteroon light on a river with branches hanging over with early spring buds.

To friends healing well,
writing good and bad poems,
some peace being found.

Silhouetted branches of a tall tree with the shadows of red-winged blackbirds perched and flying.

From every branch
red-winged blackbirds’ fresh singing
fills the spring forest.
