sister’s hot pads
tiny stitches tightly turned
bring grandma’s smile
to my face
mailbox
mailbox —
within easy sight
yet guarded
by my unbalanced gait
safe in the dojo!
safe in the dojo!
secrets and memories
fill
my
Dot Journal
a birthday haiku
a birthday haiku
sending all our love to you —
hugs and kisses too!
late winter storms
late winter storms —
skies
sag
beneath
heavy granite clouds

Reflections on Bullet/Dot Journaling
·
BuJo/DoJo —
looking for simplicity
yet still using three books!
oh!
oh!
I’m trembling
the air’s so cold!
·
move faster!
you might get warm!
·
did you hear?
rain’s on the way!
·
mutterings
my front yard ash trees
overcast morning
overcast morning
leaves betray the wind
forecast rain is on the way!
morning cup of tea
morning cup of tea —
an elixir of
healing antioxidants
stirring coffee
stirring coffee
with daddy’s favorite spoon —
I touch his hands
every day
dime store Halloween costumes
when we were kids
dimestore
Halloween costumes
hard to breathe
through the plastic mask
Halloween
Halloween —
black cat slinks
through the foggy night
morning sun
morning sun
sneaks through kitchen blinds
casting golden streaks
across the floor
atop the rose bush
atop the rose bush
crawly worm becomes
an
S
surveying
the
world
I am haiku dreams
I am haiku dreams
chasing sparks of life
through eternities of love
zorried feet
waiting for low tide
waiting for low tide
the waves inch deeper
into the sea
my mysterious tea tao
my mysterious
tea tao — green tea brings headaches
black tea leaves smiles
magic!
magic!
dicing red onions
chilled first in the fridge —
my eyes don’t cry!
ruffled feathers
ruffled feathers on canvas —
artist’s wild sparrows

kittens chase spools
kittens chase spools
of bright colored thread
skidding
across the kitchen floor
overcast morning
overcast morning
soft rain-filled light
sneaks
through the kitchen blinds
fall peel-a-pound soup
fall peel-a-pound soup —
red onions, cabbage, carrots
join rutabagas
parsnips, turnips and garlic —
simmering smells fill the room
trees still leafed in green
trees still leafed in green
I hunger for the golden
reds and browns of fall
kids scamper
kids scamper
deep in orange fields
seeking
just the right
jack-o-lantern face
feline phys ed
feline phys ed
kittens doing jumping jacks —
dragonflies!
thank you, Dr. Oz!
thank you, Dr. Oz!

throwing out
40 things in 40 days —
I can hear the clutter howl!

my life is haiku
always searching
for hidden rhythms
breathing in
and breathing out
late summer surprise

pots of steaming tea
after school

life goes round and round

filled with antioxidants —
my morning green tea!

kitty sleeps
deep in the hydrangea’s shade

from outside cacophony

silence
69’s too hot!
69’s too hot!
7 a.m. sun is blinding . . .
taking garbage out
whiskers!
whiskers!
curse of older gals
snip
snip
snip
maybe I can play Mrs. Claus
suddenly aware
suddenly aware —
silence of the universe
lies
just
beneath
the traffic noise
beneath
the traffic noise
longing for winter
longing for winter
fresh-brewed coffee’s too hot —
I sip on iced instead!
