mourning widow - the candle

mourning widow -
the candle's tears
dry by morning

the moon’s brightness
after midnight
cornstalk tepees

The Heron's Nest IV:3

noon calm
islands of sun
warm the lawn

`

birthday gift -
the puppy looks back
at its mother

WHR-Vol. 2, Issue 3: Nov. 2002

`

full moon
the sea, pushing
and pulling

`

rush hour bus
a burst of forsythias
speed by

morning chill --
passing a homeless man
the hooker nods

the buzz of wings—
a dragonfly's shadow
slips across the page

World Haiku Review: v5n1-2005
neoclassical-best ten

departing day --
tinted clouds float
between the peaks

`

late afternoon -
the fern-filled porch
glows green

Mother's Day
boys passing the gate
with daises

`

village square
a squirrel works an apple
back up the tree

`

crescent moon
shallow surf slides
across our feet

`

an ancient path
in a sky without time
departing geese

un vieux chemin
dans la ciel sans attendre
des oies sur le départ

tempes libres 5/2005

summer heat
the scent of night
the scent of you

`

cricket at the gate -
stars hang thick
in the willow

WHR: Vol. 2, Issue 3, Nov. 2002

`

surprise party
his birthday smile
bright as the moon

morning wink --
her cheeks the color
of blush

windless sails -
ice cubes crackle
in the lemonade

WHR: Vol. 2, Issue 2, July 2002

``

crabs moving slowly
through the cattails...
autumn night

WHR: Vol. 2, Issue 3, Nov. 2002

`

forest canopy
round rocks
swirl the stream

passing clouds
the dragonfly's shadow
now and then

`

sultry night -
soft blossoms rest
against the sill
