Clouds of purple haze
Bowers of wisteria
Over Union Square
Month: March 2015
Keys
Spring cleansing– old keys
What doors swung open for me?
All, all forgotten
Moss Landing
Saber slash of moon
In a sky gently glazing
Blueing in the dawn
3/27/15 kids
Kids at school crosswalk
Cherry blossoms bend and sigh
At their transience
Nam Meow
cats about to spring
on buddhist altar — intone
ceremonial screams
Stalingrad
Bones and burnt iron
Oceans of tall sunflowers
Flotsam of a Reich
3/26/15
Woodpeckers pecking
Wife chopping meat for the cats
Sonorous morning
Me speakee Avianese
My house cats practice
Their Avian language skills
With bemused robins
El Camino 3/23/15
Man at the roadside
Holding up a cardboard sign
Bearing his haiku
) haiku
A thin crescent moon
Like an end parentheses
Chalked on a blackboard
3/24/15 Buster
Hissing and stumbling
Calls out crows to bring it on
My cat-nip drunkard
#17
bitter bitter root
my daughter’s incessant rants
in Emergency
Kermit
frog crossing the road
sixteen wheeler coming down
what would Basho say?
Buster
bounding hungry storm
safecracker of kibble bags
you’ll always survive
Lullabye
she sings lullabyes
girl we used to rock to sleep
songbird of our spring
Father’s Haiku
Tilted rice bowl moon
Birds sleep in unknown places
As do our daughters
Ode to Kitties
Cats in cupboards
Or refrigerators
Or under my feet
Or licking old paint
Or in the sink
Or simultaneously
All these things.
(For Linda Hawkes)
Hina Matsuri Haiku
Ah, Doll’s Festival!
But our daughters are grown now
The dolls won’t know them
Marin Haiku
Mustard flowering
On coastal fields and pastures
Gold comes to the gate
March Haiku
This gray morning fog
Pale chemises of light droop
Under street lamps
