“Skirt”

Skirt
Iris rise from dark soil, /
dress in a skirt of May rain, /
bloom and fall from light.

Ghost

A ghost of summer, /

a coneflower in winter, /

brittle stalk and day.

Shuffle

You shuffle the deck /

then deal the icicles that /

define my future.

Shadows play with clouds; /

the sun descends as if /

falling through a dream.

Bare branches

Broken by the dawn, /

the sun weaves from behind clouds /

and through bare branches.

“Clatter”

Clatter

Empty limbs chatter; /

hackberry seeds clatter the earth, /

first passing through birds.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Popcorn balls”

Popcorn balls

Singed fingertips shape /

hot syrup and sugar round /

Christmas memories.

Day

Last for a day — /

Sun brightens until night. /

Moon just in phases.

Shadows and light

Shadows and light — /

glimpses of you in winter — /

some crisp, some twisted.
