hungry for lunch
ladybugs swarm my garden —
nature’s aphid control!

almost dawn
almost dawn
streaks of light
peek
over the horizon
edging into the woods
edging into the woods
tiny kittens
pounce
on dancing shadows
soft on my skin
soft on my skin
daddy’s old flannel shirt
his arms
wrapped around me again
overcast late spring days
overcast late spring days
rain evaporates
before it hits the ground
my baby sister

my baby sister —
at any age you’ll always be
younger than me!

always running to catch up
always running to catch up
just found a stack
of unposted haiku
–
to edit or not?
some wording I liked then seems
somewhat awkward now
–
yet they’re maps of my brain —
bits of unseen energy
caught by my pen
–
so I’ll pause and reflect,
call them little found gems
and polish — or not!
On Getting Unstuck
On Getting Unstuck
•
Morning Puttering done
a cup of tea, notebooks, pens
draw my writer in
–
told my sis she’d see
in her email unstuck sis
writing new haiku
–
it seems a matter
of throwing out old rules
that stifle
creativity
–
and remembering
to set the kitchen timer
and write write write each day!
