My friend died last week
Departure unexpected
Legacy breathes on
Glory and heartbreak
Alike make new beginnings
Odd gifts to embrace

Haiku: Mixed Blessings
6 Comments »
On The Occasion of James’ Sixteenth Birthday
Joyous celebration of life in your very being
A spark of creation I hold dear
Making me proud
Energy abundant
Strutting in the Marching Band
Helping me fix Eggs Benedict
Always fun to be with
Running to give me a surprise hug
Tuesday in the parking lot
I LOVE YOU
Senryu: A Revelation
Charmed by the brief form
Inspired by life’s happenings
Wrote many Haiku
Then I awoke to
Expanded definition –
A “human” Haiku
Perfect description
Poetry I’ve been writing
Instead is Senryu.
With appreciation to Colleen Chesebro who teaches me good things
Haiku: Third Time a Charm
New modem required
So said cable company
It came in the mail
Also cable box.
Cable guy to the rescue
My problems were small
Three long hours passed
He pronounced all in good shape –
Until the next day
When it became clear
Impossible to record
Why have a TV?
Different guy sent
Seems original box wrong
Installed another
Now I could record.
Problems solved I watched TV
Then after four days
No picture on screen.
Third guy came with his tool box
Things were looking up.
He wasted no time
Found ancient cable splitter
Replaced it. Voila!
With my apologies to the traditional Haiku form
Haiku: Best of Two Seasons
Breeze blows through window
Sun rays warm my easy chair
Time for autumn nap
Haiku: Autumn Pallette
Red cheeks of apples
Gray squirrels a-scurrying
Bright flaming orange leaves
Blue skies overhead
Soft green grass still a-growing
Crazy quilt glory
In Response to Daily Prompt: Glorious
Haiku: Population Report
I’ve described before
Peculiar phenomena
Year-round geese neighbors
To their small gaggle
Two geese added a new friend
Geese now a threesome
