Two years afterward / so this is what it feels like / to miss apparent.

Going down the stairs / I’m nearly felled by feline / treat-seeking missiles.

The fickle feline / pauses to consider which / lap to sleep upon.

Massive old columns / sorely in need of fresh paint / frame the library.

My favorite church / I stand, expecting God’s voice / to invite me in.

Haiku heckler hurls / his heavy haunted harpoons / of heedless hubris.

Gently falling flakes / left a threadbare white blanket / over sleeping grass.

When one door closes / another may not open / so get a chainsaw.

The gentler haiku I was going to post: When one door closes / if one does not open, keep / trying down the hall. But, as I was thinking about…

Feeling compassion / leaves a beautiful imprint / on the universe.

Edge of the highway / a mess of shrubs, weeds, trees, grass / growing randomly.

Friday night dinner / when Chinese food is chosen / we are not surprised.

03 Feb

Nothing to do but / nothing, which is something if / nothing’s what you want.

02 Feb

I saw my shadow / and knew this spring-like winter / would not continue.

The clouds were talking / spurred by wind, their dialogue / with sun and sky, fleeting.

Can you be certain / of things which are uncertain? / You certainly can’t.

A new day has dawned / so I’m told, but it feels so / familiar to me.

Dinner with dear friends / a guilty pleasure indeed! / Would you not agree?

Facets and fractals / seen through the fractured lens of / an old camera.

25 Jan

A dour, dim, dank day / dawns darkly and despairs of / becoming brighter.

24 Jan

State of the onion / peel back the layers, reveal / what’s lurking inside.

Or, the original haiku: Obama address / state of the union; again / I am full of hope.
