winter rain a low-flying private jet

waiting for my blood draw a deer tick on the dog's muzzle

#haiku daffodils we didn’t plant show up anyway

careful with you carry into the rain

my life is an open book #7syllablesentence

shivering a shelter dog in the rain

boomer fearing the bust

fumbling for my claim check the bags under my eyes #vssdaily

agitation an unbalanced washing machine #inkMine

baggage claim a stranger reaching for my suitcase #vssdaily

broken clouds the glare of her lip gloss #haikufeels

end-of-life musings wondering if my black suit still fits me #thingstowriteabout

upscale dining hoping the suits will pick up the bill #thingstowriteabout

hope springs eternal a bountiful display of hydrangeas #vss365

late-season harvest a copious yield of acorns #HaikuChallenge

late-night commute I yield to ghosts #HaikuChallenge

befogged mirror the more it hides the better #wss366

fogged in the silence of a restless harbor #wss366

La Esquina the street busker and his dog #MastoPrompt

is it real? or am I just imagining the hummingbird?

wild orchids they won't tell me how they got there #DailyHaikuPrompt

catkins the coyote is intrigued #DailyHaikuPrompt

unselfconsciously swaying in the wind giant oak trees #HaikuNuggets

another fixer upper except for the granite countertops #TheDailyHaiku

red-winged blackbirds noisily reminding us they're back #NaHaiWriMo

missing at the reunion the one who couldn't miss

one last poem a cryptic fortune cookie

evening tea a long-suffering kettle pond

as if it wasn't mine my father lends me a book

the next bomb I drop is a dying river

snow globe nothingness surrounds me

final approach the city begins to swallow us

what if the house wasn't spinning around after all?

this was the horizon, I said, sand pouring through my fingers

transit cruise an island swallowed up by lightning

to be the door that opens into fog

measuring distance what if my echo doesn't return?

looking for an old friend the ghosts seem happy to help

now playing left field a red-legged flycatcher

late winter snowmelt a parched river awaits

ham and eggs with extra ease #7syllablesentence

physicist thanking us for our attention to matter

Fisherman's View in close proximity to the power plant #inkMine

shuttered church thoughts and prayers in the parking lot #vssdaily

pleasure boats wrapped in plastic dreams of the 1%

in the bookstore true crime novels disguised as news #thingstowriteabout

parked outside the devil's playground an idling truck #haikufeels

doubling down a lethargic slug #vss365

surfboard yearning for the waves #HaikuChallenge

derelicting his account it was inevitably used by hackers #wss366
