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

The sun briefly came to play

Early Sunrise ~ February 14, 2011

blue-grey snake uncoils ~
Marshmellow cloud fluff ~
hills spurt orange

we elect to see meaning

Sunrise: February 10

Mountaintop crown glows
Coronation hour is now
Twenty four hour reign...

Vanishing world

Empty chamber, prison-like

~ Move to the exit ~

Daily Haiku Challenge: Day 9 - 21 Years Old

I'll never know if
Her laugh would lilt, scrape or lift
Born into silence




My daughter, Marlena, would be 21 years old today.
She died at birth.

Anger knows him well
Daily frustration sandwich
