Legacy

Clouds and shadows painted /

With tints of winter sunlight. /

Bare limbs full of gray.

Barren branches clutch /

at passing quarter moon; grip /

empty into dawn.

Forget not

Let us not forget /

Those who define heroism /

By the rule of hate.

Goodbye

Footsteps here and gone. /

What you hold you someday lose. /

What you embrace stays.

When you reach the end /

Haiku and photo: “Gallon grief”

Gallon grief

Heartache, ice cream takes /

one gallon or two: cone, scoops, /

pain moves — heart to head.
