haiku
Traffic jam
outside the cemetery-
Mother’s day
*
Two Mourning Doves
follow each other in the mud-
Valentine’s Day
*
New year’s day-
ice cracks
in the bird bath.
*
The waitress
limps to our table-
all night diner.
*
By the water’s edge
with pebbles in my pocket
late August
*
Every morning
me with my coffee
you with your tea
*
Afternoon cocktail
sun and shade mix
on the lawn
*
Silversmith come out
this dull July moon
could use your rouge
*
The cardinal waits
for one more seed-
summer downpour
*
The cricket
hides himself
in the sound of grass
*
Fog-
the backyard
gets smaller
*
Empty robin’s egg
nothing but the blue
intact
*
Fallen petals
the names of soldiers
we’ll never know
*
In the haiku fields
some sweet and bitter fruit
for hungry ghosts
*
Buddhist funeral
my eyes fill
with smoke
*
Finding myself
standing taller
seeing the Cardinal
*
