Haiku: New Math
Long planned trip cancelled
Calendar blessedly free
The respite I need
A marvelous thing
Subtracting equals adding
Result less is more
Eye Spy
Dreary airport sounds.
Calls to flights and cancellations
Conversations cell phone drone
Weariness pervades my bones.
People-watching changes scene.
Dramas large and small
Engage me with human race
Bringing smiles to my face.
Seeing families deplane
I spy a little boy
Following his mom and dad
Two smaller sisters in their arms.
His four-year-old self, I gage
All seriousness and firm endeavor
Pulling his own roller bag
Spider Man his hero buddy.
My heart filling to brim
I could not stop my face’s beam
Suddenly he turned his head
Shyly smiling back at me.

My new neighbors honk.
Pair of geese who winter spent
Flying patterns rare.
Standing on my roof
Bellies full from neighbors’ crumbs
They seem quite content.
