Just another day
Slogging along. Rather be
Jogging into bed

Three joyous women
A decade of hell on earth
Renewed lives today

None expected mob
Benghazi still befuddles
Diplomats’ regret

Climate change Spring time
Early fires and late snow storms
Portend things to come

Margaritaville
Five syllable reminder
Tequila goodness

Warm sunshine light breeze
Honeysuckle scent wafting
Worries dissipate

Haiku arises
Memory then awareness
Out of distant past

Out of distant past
Memory then awareness
Haiku arises

Sunlight on a door
Door does not know it is warm
Nor an opening

Rocking bird feeder
The bird is already gone
One less hungry one

May grace and mercy
Find us all days of our lives
Heaven here on earth

Will anything find us?
Ever ease the weary soul?
Grace and mercy may

It’s Monday again
Like an ant walking in line
I pick up my load
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 04/13/10

She wakes in the night
Ignore the stupid machine!
And go back to sleep
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 04/13/10

Angel turns her back
How long will it take to move
Past sorry to something?

I am an optimist and I lived my life in joy
Too many things have happened to me and the ones I love
For me to worry about any one thing
with a greater perspective or trauma
than its place in the wholeness of my life
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 04/05/13

I’d blame it on God
But he doesn’t seem
To be listening
Much.
Just when a miracle
Or some such healing
Is needed
There is silence
And distance
As if to say
You’re on you own there
Find the strength
To heal
Or carry on
Or whatever.

We could use
A bit of help
Here,
Ya know?

Tilde makes equal
The space between or above
A breathe and a sigh

Dancing through the dark
Of time and uncertainty
Learning from music

Cancer lies dormant
It is a false dark shadow
Hiding life’s wonder

You would write that which
You have to say. Nothing more.
Haiku masters know.

Crows fly below
The towers of our lost dreams
Bearing some new hope
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 10/29/12
Crows fly below
The towers of our lost dreams
A flock of sorrows
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 11/03/12

And I love you so
Grace in life was sweeter than
Dew upon a peach
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 11/04/12

inebriated
frustrated commentary
not the finest kind
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 11/15/12

Watching the day fade
Light like time measured then gone
Another phase shift
