Wednesday, 8:17 am

Sam sits on my lap
Fingers push keyboard letters
We wait for school to start

May 6: 8:54 am. Bakersfield. #aros #micropoetry

Heat withers my writing muse here on this, my beloved porch. May 6, too early for such 8:54 am fever. Bakersfield.

Sunrise ~ April 5

Pink clouds swim to west ~
 in blue ocean water sky ~
refreshing morning.

Sunrise: April 1, 2011 ~ Two Small River Stones

Eastern sky brightens ~
chaotic rooster choir sings ~
Kern County dawn breaks

Sliver of a moon ~
greets the sun as she rises ~
amber reflections

Early Morning, March 23 (A Tanka)

I walk through the door ~
Get Sam's backpack from the car ~
Mulberry leaves sprout ~
Smile stretches my face open ~
I see what is important

Coming Close to Her

(in honor of the 3*19*2011 Super Moon)

Just spotted her face ~

wind announces our meeting ~

misty, white cloud veils

2 Sunrise Haiku: 3/3/2011

Winter's end crisp blue ~
grey renaissance sculpture clouds ~
gold rays peek through pine

Windchime waits in silence ~
green Camry makes up its mind ~
breathes into right turn
