curtains flutter
    the shadows of birds
   rise in waves

Heron's Nest, May 2004
 
`

 a low whinny -
 the colt looks back
at it's mother

`

at the airport
  luggage and baggage
his and hers

`

     spawning season ---
river stones, older than
our time together

`

distant thunder
a crow flaps down
from the pines

Simply Haiku Nov/Dec 2004

`

two together
tiny shells overturn
in the tide

temps libres, 2004
The Haiga Pages

`

   crossroads --
 the brown core
of an apple

temps libres, 2004

`

       passing clouds . . .
lilies bow, spilling
last nights rain

`

geese cry out --
an ancient chorus
returning home

`

lazy afternoon
wildflowers meander
along the tracks

`

bedroom shadows
the glorious cry of geese
coming home

`

morning tea
he cups his hands
around the glass

thé du matin
il met ses mains en coupe
autour du verre

tempes libres


`

surprise sneeze
the dandelion blows away
without a wish

`

museum tour -
the children giggle
at Venus de Milo   
 
`

birds twitter --
mother and daughter
speak again
 

home office
each child's height marked
on the door frame

`

midnight pleasure 
reading poetry
that rhymes

`

a wail of bagpipes
the cadence of drums -
new york 2001

`
 
september 2001
a small voice trembles
"where's daddy?"

`

september tide
broken shells return
to the sea

`

distant thunder
a crow flaps down
from the pines

Simply Haiku, Nov/Dec 2004

`

flags at half-mast
columns of smoke
reach the moon

`

mountain snow -
shirred plumes from
the town below

`

afternoon tea
the old patio shaded
by banana palms

Simply Haiku, Nov/Dec 2004
