Harass

A feathered sun sits /

high in the catalpa tree. /

Feathered moons harass.

Corg

I am the Corgi. /

Resistance is but futile. /

Scratch me now, human.

Shadows in autumn, /

walking dogs in the evening. /

Memories linger.

The light sees nothing: /

no reflections, no shadows, /

nothing gone, no you.

Save

A single flower /

cannot save you, except – /

in contemplation.

“Quilt”

Quilt

Many leaves fall down /

weaving on the Earth a quilt /

as if preparing.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Dreams”

Dreams

Found in the small park, /

a finger puppet zebra, /

dirty but dream filled.

“Three Rivers Market”

I am not big on manufactured holidays, but in honor of Daughter’s Day, I repost this haiku, which features my daughter, Lauren in 2011.

Three Rivers Market

Ode to an eggplant,

Locally grown. Daughter holding,

about to take home.

.

“Fall”

Fall

Fall paints the maple, /

a blush of red to its summer green. /

Then the bright leaves fall.
