night panics--

calmed in the dark hours

reading murder



mourning doves

on the neighbour's roof--

evening shadows



counting steps . . .

i'd rather count

falling leaves



harsh squawk--

the blue jay heard

on echo



cup of soup

our first church meal

together

left to share

summer heat

late in August

sunrise . . .

a faint glow

seeps into life



shaping words

to fit a pattern--

folk song



cricket . . .

a song in this morning's

darkness



heron

in the river . . .

lifts off



big picture--

then the long  walk

toward home

spring weather

living on the streets

with a blue tarp



a sparrow

lands by the church door

concrete search



skills

beyond the pandemic--

homemade pizza



a moment

sitting outside worship

a duck waddles by



trilliums

watching the woods

grow green

Failed Haiku #80

a tail flip--

catching the fisherman's

attention

 

Prune Juice #37
