neighbors gather
speak a few words
over a drowned cat
Month: November 2018
2209
flashing red and blue
emergency vehicles
streets of Christmas lights
2208r
hare in our garden
grandchildren hide the bullets
for my .22
2207
YouTube lullabys
best thing for the baby
knocks me out, too
2206
a ragged blue jay
singing the bare branches blues
missed the last flight south
2205
my little verses
flickering prayer candles
in a windy church
2204
she raked all morning
admires at last her work
a single leaf falls
2203
the doe’s blood trail
washed away by autumn rain
tall grass covers her
2202
other cats snub her
I make up for it— stroking
her rose petal ears
2201
a late evening rain
front door opens and shuts
footsteps up the stairs
2200
chinese scroll painting
blacks and grays of sumi ink
ash covered landscape
2199
thanksgiving dinner
everyone provides something
I brought this haiku
2198
a water color
in only black and grays
rain on leaves, ashes
2197
already my aunt
looks forward to gifts
she can get refunds
2196
kid size shopping carts
“our customers in training”
the signs on them say
