Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte

Haiku: Weather Tidings

No pink stripes in sky
No technicolor morning
Gray and somber day

A Celestial Two-fer

Standard time arrived
Early morning coffee time
Lit by bright sunshine

On the other hand
Time to close the blinds at dusk
Charmed by sight of moon

Dead leaves cling to bough
Silhouettes against pale sky
Tatters of Autumn

Six-thirty A.M.
Daylight savings time wonder
Pink clouds cover sky

Dull monochrome sky
Absent pink stripes of winter
Climate-change shades

Haiku: Faint Warmth

Dark and frigid dawn
Coldest of the year and yet
Crescent moon beams glow

Later on the sun
Very welcome imposter
Called me out to play

Haiku: Lament For the Future

January day
Dull gray clouds obscure the sky
Too warm for jeweled snow

Will it thus be so
World unrecognizable
In aeons ahead?

Haiku: Malingering

Snow welcomed me home
Muse remains in Mexico
Watching bright moon-set

Haiku: Appetizer

Soft pink candy stripes
Streaking Autumn dawning sky
Delicious morning

Clearing Fog

Clear darkness of the sky
Last night a quarter moon
Summer creatures sing a serenade

At dawn a fog rolls in
Only light the yellow beam
Shining from the hardware store

Blue water of the swimming pool
Now obscured for winter months
By tarpaulin just as blue

I welcome the change
Summer a hard and anxious time
Fear for health of son’s beloved wife

With now the worst behind
As a family they move on
Life reshaped but ever closer drawn

I return to simpler ways
Where poetry lives in daily life
And remains my nourishment
