A Collection of Haiku
The favorite trail
Is now longer and steeper
My bootsoles wear thin
Surf assaults the shore
A lighthouse burns through the fog
Helmsmen sail on faith
My faith comes to this
I will tend to my garden
And it will tend me
A dog to itself
Making humans feel better
Is tail-heavy work
Devout and time-worn
The oak tree preaches wisdom
Doves stop to worship
Pausing to relax
On the enduring passage
Water forms a pond
I’m a scavenger
Searching through thoughts left behind
Gathering potsherds
Dactylonomy
Certainly comes in handy
When writing haiku
The river's water
Is anonymous again
As it joins the sea
Privilege of dogs
To sleep wherever they want
I am envious
She can barely breathe
The tears tremble down her face
This is how love costs
i accept this now
to sit quietly alone
and hear myself breathe
Freedom for women
Suppressed throughout the ages
By the church and state
He was up all night
Not believing in the dawn
While fear fed on him
These tracks are southbound
They run to Mississippi
Where blues plays all night
To my excitement
Erumpent gladiolas
Send up their first spears
What time is it now?
A question once never asked
Before there was next
Appreciate life
Even pond scum has purpose
There is blue in green
When stories dissolve
When there's no truth or fiction
What will bind us then
Invisible wall
