early March inside the
cardinal’s song –
new moon

the dunes at Au Sable –
a landscape

a shiv-wind
finds my parka seams –
another January thaw ends

#DailyHaikuPrompt | thaw

even through the sweetness
of cold melon –
this relentless rage

darkened porch –
the evening thick
with chorus frogs

ground blizzard –
sparrows hunker
in the lee of the tree

blizzard warning –
a cow herd disappears
in the snow

#SmallPoems

in the meadow
drifted snow and the memory
of sedge wrens

#DailyHaikuPrompt | meadow
#SmallPoems

roasting the last winter squash
.
crickets and a gentle
evening rain

an Iowa landscape –
mountains out of
molehills

a glimmer inside
the indigo sky –
distant hope

summer night –
lightning bugs rise
with the humidity

#DailyHaikuPrompt | lighning
#SmallPoems

filled
and sanded smooth …
a long grief

#DailyHaikuPrompt | sand
#SmallPoems

alone
an ancient mare
observes the twilight

#DailyHaikuPrompt | horse

aging body he says
no need
to hide the mend

catfish noodling –
much of life a reach
into the muddy river

after snow slanted on
the north wind –
calm and a murder of crows

#DailyHaikuPrompt | north wind
#SmallPoems

the flow of years
lily pads sway
on the water

#DailyHaikuPrompt | undulate
#SmallPoems

empty fields –
the grin
of a dog

#DailyHaikuPrompt | grin
#SmallPoems

gravel road –
a deer ripens
in the ditch

a creek winds
through the valley –
reverie with the coffee

aging mother –
pelicans
return to the river

#DailyHaikuPrompt | pilgrimmage

our entangled lives
wild grapes

memories –
white pine boughs
sway in the wind
