We encounter things

Turkeys gobbling
While crows are cawing nearby
Morning at my house.

We encounter things
So strange yet still so common

Haiku for you.
petaluma river

Sky in the water
Clouds turn blue on a river
like boats lingering.

I love the shadows
They reach across my life and
warm my weary bones

Three shades of color
Across an open landscape
Depicting life’s blend

Idling bus riders
Their time means less than schedules

Translates to inconvenience

I’m not prolific
Haiku just happens because
I have a notebook

    Gerry, thanks for your comment on my govloop.com blog. I checked out your site and found your haiku. LOVED IT! I just had to share one I wrote recently, the first one in many years, inspired by my work schedule:
    Training assignments
    Like Thanksgiving portions
    We take too much

    hahaha hope it gave you a laugh today.
    Kindly,
    Sandy
