on the hemlock branch

Frost



a dusting of diamonds
sparkling on evergreens
winter’s oracle

Falling - A Set of Haiku



old country road
blanket of pine needles
your cheeks ruddy


-------------------


my cold hand
in yours
warm


-------------------


smoke rising
flames bursting
scent of leaves


-------------------


sweeping over
shades of dusk
black crow moon


-------------------


cattle lowing
a song
for autumn


-------------------


cider
cinnamon swizzle stick
hints on my lips


-------------------


crème brûlée,
and the salt in your kiss
delicious


-------------------

Russet and Gold


russet dreams
in flax and gold
spun through my fingers



crisp and cool
and bright
the mornings of disappearing mist



crunch of apples
sliced and sprinkled
cinnamon and sugar



little fingers
licked clean
i kiss their cowlicked heads

Autumn Series Haiku 

Friday, August 17, 2012

Composing


through table legs
painted toenails coquet
the edge of denim


lemon, sea salt
and baby arugula
eaten with fingertips


candlelight flutter
a catch in her breath
traced in his own


sicilian jazz
the subtle intensity
composing their story

Chelan Haiku


sunrise
on the vineyard
the bees smell sweet


blue dragonflies
tango above
the lake in sea green


white birch night
the heady scent of you
in bent ryegrass

Reconciling the Sea - a series haiku


watching driftwood
roll in                   
silently                  



slow sea breeze
blowing salt
into old wounds



the undercurrent
an ocean
between them



the tide
rinsing away
bitter roots



fingers
like seaweed
intertwine



their kiss
on the beach
even seagulls speechless



tongues make
slow laps
home

Rediscovered


misplaced jewels—
that little restaurant we found,
and why we loved each other
