“From many”

From many

From many, one drops /

Earthward, away from the sky. /

No seeds in the sun.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Posed”

Posed

Posed for the decline /

of man, the cat climbs the tree /

after starlings and stars.

“Cat dance”

Cat dance

Cats in the front yard: /

one leads with a left jab. /

The other rope-a-dopes.

“Spring shadow”

Spring shadow

Frost etches brown leaves /

Clinging to the young oak tree. /

Ice shadows blue spring.

Remind me why: love, /

I carry as the morning: /

wide, heavy, weightless.

Reflections and runs. /

Descending winter sun plays /

off windows and clouds.

Photo finish Friday: “Dismantling”

Dismantling

Dismantling the tree: /

ornaments, lights, memories. /

Packing the past. /

No music to comfort me. /

Watch what the sock monkey sees.
