rock-hard vitamins
so hard to swallow — soften up
in almond milk

the njght gone silent
his eyes
prowling
like
a
cat
.
.
the setting sun
melting into shades of
lilac, purple, midnight blue
.
.
hot spring days —
in the distance
snow capped mountains
the Sierra Foothills
.
.
breezy spring day
wind chime melodies
kites dip and sway
.
.
grey clouds
chill winds —
tiny drops of rain
splattering
the
ground
.
.
gifted clothes
assissted living home —
everything’s sort of my size
.
.
Hooray! Hooray! the first of May!
a time to mourn, a time to play
my husband was born on the 20th day
and for 80-plus years never lost his way —
he shines on us now, a golden sun ray
.
.
oh my love
I’m so sorry — I lost my way
but I know you’ve been here with me
every second of every day
I’m back again on the 1st of May
with new haiku I hope is a-ok!
.
.
I’m so sorry mom, I lost my way.
But I know you’ve watched me
— and waited — every day.
But I’m back again on the 1st of May
with new haiku I hope is ok!

dusk
flocks of blackbirds
drag in the night
.
.
night sky at noon
flocks of blackbirds
soar across the sky
.
.
vibrant pinks and blues
tiny spring flowers
breaking the soil
.
.
crashing waves
shifting sand
ocean breezes —
easide symphomy
.
.
ending April’s rain
springtime’s magical paintbrush
tipped with pinks and blues
.
.
spring rain!
closets and closets
filled with galoshes —
the centipede

streaks of golden light
the setting sun’s
radiant goodnight

how often do
1/2s happen?
36 and 72!

stars dancing across the sky
crescent mon overflows
with late night rain
.
.
purples, pinks, the faintest blues
baby birds chirping
flowers bloomed today!
.
.
neighborhood parties
guests have no couth
loud voices and motorcycles
tear up the night
.
.
through the hotel window
Hawaiian paradise!
sparkling sunlight
lush green trees
and from the sandy beach below
seashells and starfish
are calling to me
.
.
. .
glowing bluebells —
magical night lights line
dark forest paths
.
.
midnight!
ghost plants
firefly petunias
glittering grass —
deep in the forest
my magical garden
charms fairies
out to play
.
.
morning sunrise
shining golden rays —
lost behind
condo walls
and gates
.
.
every night
my love flies to you —
bright red cardinals
glowing
in the dark
.
.
the sound of rain
words unspoken
understood by all
.
.
silence

deep in the forest
the mountain lion
prowls

silence

deep in the forest
mountain lions
prowl

summers at the coast
mama finding treasures
at the seashell store

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM
101 TODAY

frozen hearts —
his icy blue eyes
colder
than winter snow
.
.
cold winter days
yet the sun shines bright
knowing
that even though you’re gone
you’ll be forever in my life
.
.
stormy winter day
all the dolls came out to play!
barbie dolls
paper dolls
hand-made scrap rag-dolls
and dolls from far away!
Japanese washi dolls
Russian stacking dolls
porcelain China dolls —
and every single one of them
brightened up the day!
.
.
venetian blinds . . .
imagining
bridges islands canals
.
.
winter silence
woven in a bundle
sleeping calico cats
.
.
midnight gravity
the arch of moonlight
silently fills the room
v2
midnight gravity
folded moonlight
silently fills the room
.
.
little birds tumble
left!
right!
up!
down!
dancing on
the redwood fence
.
.
winter morning
break of day
sunlight
sneaking
through the fog
.
.
wild magic!
our love woven in time
sparkling
like winter ice
.
.
.
winter ice
happiness everywhere
microwave heating pads
.
.
45 years today
the preacher
was nowhere to be seen —
our best man said not to cry
he let his fingers do the walking!
