Haiku 2012/345

chill winds strip the trees
once again I trudge to work,
older by a day

Haiku 2012/344

it might be Venus,
or another cold bright star
far above our heads

Haiku 2012/343

my spade turns the earth
unaware earthworms exposed
pinkish writhing knots

Haiku 2012/342

for DA and for Basho

"I don't like haiku" -
but you would stop and listen
if the frog went splash!

Haiku 2012/341

printouts on my desk
e-mail on the monitor
sandwich in my hand

Haiku 2012/340

rain slants through streetlights
and falls puddling swampishly
on rain-heavy lawns

Haiku 2012/339

winter abstraction

a slash of silver
a gray smear, sprinkled with lights
red leaves down dark streets

Haiku 2012/338

spider on the wall:
are you patient, or cunning,
or just a spider?

Haiku 2012/337

walking in the rain
when suddenly the clouds part:
glitter of sunlight

Haiku 2012/336

some days the peacocks
must give way in your view to
other, browner birds
