eating bagels
chant for the grandkids
my new mission
2495
a stone buddha
in its lap
a single poppy
2494r
thanksgiving dinner
everyone brings something
I brought this haiku
2493r
cold winds
roses beat on glass
let us in, let us in
2492
tea kettle whistles
I am a dog
beginning our day
2491
throughout the forest
woodpeckers tap messages
all is forgiven
2490
mister woodpecker
disdains trees
prefers a power lunch
2489
do they really sing
or fight like us
every morning
2488r
origami birds
roosting in Hiroshima
a girl’s memorial
-0-
sign at the border
silhouette of fleeing
father, mother, child

2487
deer in our garden
I negotiate for the lives
of the roses
2486
a long, long life
she falls asleep
new adventures
2485r
a swirl of starlings
or a gust of leaves
must wear glasses
2484
behind the curtains
on the window ledge
cat’s shadow show
2483
outside cats in lust
my household cats
can’t be bothered
2482
news helicopter
hovers over where I live
must be my haiku
2481
quarantine over
the hermit crab
says no big deal
2480
carp climbing
dragon falls
become buddha
2479r
my neighbor
avid birdwatcher
with no egrets
2478
house for sale
ghosts and demons
complimentary
2477
kitty box goddess
grandchild governess
happy Mother’s Day
