“Leg up”

From 2018

Leg up

Raise your leg higher /

Keep your foot above your heart /

Step lightly on air.

“Corg”

Corg

I am the Corgi. /

Resistance is but futile. /

Scratch me now, human.

Shadows in autumn, /

walking dogs in the evening. /

Memories linger.

Light

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.

“Moment”

Moment

Brown Spanish needles /

spear a falling dogwood leaf /

and hold a fall moment.

“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.
