A Beckoning Haiku
beauty shows its face
petals spread soft persuasions
there hummingbirds feast

A Little…
a little lost
a little hurt
a little crushed by life
I am
a little…
hope a little
laugh a little
thrive

The Watch
steadfast watch from the writer’s tower
time ticks
too fast
toward its endgame bomb
boom
no life escapes that room
boom
then doom
or nothing
or a room
boom
the living colors
of the clock
face
outward
but
the clock does its ticking
inside
the weathering
withering
heat
beats
you have yours
I have mine
watches, I mean
time ticks for everyone
boom
still, ticking
mine
in beats profound
gifts
wrapped in crimson ribbons
rhythms
flow
from a faithful tower
full
the watch
watches
the pen
records the beats
in words
profound
found
only by one quick on the uptick
of time
the writer
watches
watches
tick
in aging towers
boom

Cherita #16
milk spills
toddler strapped
in the high chair cries
kitten purrs and
laps a morning snack
off the hardwood floor

A Haiku by Design
song birds yearn for spring
form dry-grass nests at the thaw
weave warmth with skilled beaks

A Colorful Haiku
on cold, blank canvas
through the long nights of winter
dream vivid, spring hues

Rain
rain hits the piano keys
forms melodies
wrung from storms
to the untrained ear
random
but
like woodland-creature footfalls on fresh snow
patterned
by the pulse of life
moving
fleeing
preying
playing
notes of the living
bittersweet, sometimes sweet, sonatas
the dissonant chords
and
consonant chords
dance
in harmonically progressive orbits
that create cloudy tempests
the wind wrings the clouds
and rain falls
striking the piano keys of life

A Fresh Haiku
calming, midnight sigh
stirs earth’s moon-dusted snow coat
the New Year’s first breath

Wishing you all a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!

Falling #2
falling
crystal raindrops
caught by cedars’ needles
and tickling children’s outstretched tongues
taste the cold stores from cloud-frontage breezes
the globe’s iced cocktail is shaken
tempting wonderland play
snow from sky house
falling

An Enduring Haiku #4
green of leaf endures
through season’s icy tempests
plant’s roots tap deep soil
