the full moon briefly
from behind clouds
- never lose hope
Back Roads Haiku
wet field grass -
the crooked path
of morning deer
late night jazz walk
in the heavy rain
- crazy fedora beat
damp chill day…
humming as she stirs
a wood stove stew
walking home…
the road gain littered
with faint moon shadows
waiting on poplars -
dream leaves that shimmer
in no breeze
an east wind
brings a weather change
- my grumbling wife
the subtle beauty
of wild roses
- pearl earrings peeking
a promise made…
the shade of a maple
on into the evening
late evening breeze -
hearing whispers
from tall field grass
the moon tonight…
empty park bench thoughts
in faint shadows
full maple shadows -
the cool bedsheets
on bare feet
a young girl
proud of her new summer dress
- clear waxing moon
humid day -
everything weighed down
within and without
dusk settles in -
two crows bidding to be
the last silhouette
