🐓 three egg omelet ovarian sufficiency for breakfast, at least #senryu #infertility

around the pool bullfrogs bellow— there will be tadpoles #haiku

cold cedar scent drifts— in the whispers of wind chimes, empty porch swing sways. #dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #poetry

shooing the squirrel trying to carry away full food tray #haiku

his ashes join past pets—azalea blooms profusely #haiku

she toils all day— now I see flowers from every window #haiku

shadows cross the wood pouring tea for only one silence takes your seat #haiku #poetry

sweat rolls down my cheeks top of the hill, a shaded bench wet paint #poetry #haiku

under the cherry tree rain tapping softly on new leaves #haiku

Sunlight, dark, sunlight Setting sun between the trees I rock back and forth #haiku

gentle rain the sound drowned out by a blender #haiku #poem #spring

another hole where he had been— grieving bit by bit #haiku

pen left on counter will not be batted to floor anymore #haiku

two old creatures touch in the night, so alive—for now #haiku

in response to her question, the doctor smiles #haiku

cat and I trying to find a comfortable spot together #haiku

I want to shout I’m not gone yet, but my voice cracks #haiku

little fingers carefully place asteroids on colored eggs #haiku

bright yellow flashes to and from the feeder— just before they leave #haiku

hard to delegate even to folks better than I ever was #haiku

spring thaw— here and there tattered mittens #haiku

one less of us together— speaking her name feeling her smile #haiku

afterwards the ceiling fan turns and turns #haiku

forty-nine years— anniversary card is still romantic #haiku

#haiku in bloom stump of the tree that never bloomed

early to bed; in truth it’s late, or will be come morning. #haiku

old cat asleep on my lap— we wait #haiku

in de berm padvinders op de knieën — de paddentrek #haiku

thunder— each peel rolls into the next #haiku

I will close my eyes, Trail my fingers ‘long the spines Choosing the next read #DailyHaiku #haiku #Saturday

sitting in traffic— through the sunroof underbellies of geese #haiku #haikusaturday

through the haze can’t tell which trees are still naked #haiku #poem #spring

my former morning routine—now a whole day’s work #haiku
