Memories
Memories are blades /
carving longing from the heart, /
leaving sorrow’s sting.

Toll
Winter takes its toll: /
leaves crunch, sun fades, memories /
fill the dark longing.

Longing
Sitting on a branch, /
the fat Robin of morning, /
longing for cat food.

Sphere
Sphere in the valley. /
Effigy of the lone sun, /
longing for its mate.

World full of wonder. /
The angel of death leaves soon. /
Short are the longings.

[Editor’s note: The original “Glimpses” was syllable too long. So, here is the haiku again. This time trimmed by a syllable.]
At the water’s edge,
Echoes whisper my longing.
My heart holds your face.
