“Swans”

Swans

Four swans in the snow: /

stone stiff, nowhere to go. /

Spring soon? Sun rides low.

Moon

Bare winter branches, /

full moon weaves between them, /

skyward into night.

Haiku to you Thursday “Tea kettle”

Tea kettle

Tea kettle on ice, /

hot water cracks winter’s glass, /

restores disorder.

“Ripples”

Ripples

Each drink a ripple. /

Each ripple a crest in time /

caused by a cat’s tongue.

“The Old Man”

The Old Man

There was an old man who lived in a sign. /

His wife wouldn’t join him because she wouldn’t cosine. /

Now she lives adjacent to an empty hypotenuse. /

Her life a tangent somewhat on the loose.
