shaking out crumbs ~
the smell of rain
on asphalt | tempslibres |
fourth of july
a cottonwood blizzards
on the picnic | tempslibres |
spent tea leaves ~
the scent of almonds
and cinnamon | tempslibres |
rainy day ~
precipitation
in the baby's nappy | tempslibres |
coming home
piles of laundry on the floor
light and dark | tempslibres |
morning tai chi ~
a breeze stirs the spent petals
of the cherry blossoms | tempslibres |
cloudburst ~
an apple tree rains petals
on the asphalt | tempslibres |
haiku ~
attentive to this moment
i smile | tempslibres |
wet starless night --
a smiling moon shines
on her umbrella. | tempslibres |
autumn chill
a faint rainbow
in the shower | tempslibres |
march sunshine
the distant call
of a robin | tempslibres |
mountain cabin --
the voices of people hidden
by the night | tempslibres |
endless summer --
another beach boys tune
on the oldies station | tempslibres |
distant hawk
a gust of cherry petals
crosses the lawn | tempslibres |
day is done
poppies amidst
the dying grass | tempslibres |
celtic harp
the first raindrops touch
my cheeks | tempslibres |
desire
the honey
inside me | tempslibres |
february 15th
a broken heart
in the cookie box | tempslibres |
lost friendship
a stray wisp of fog clings
to the canyon | tempslibres |
contact lenses ~
the pines on that hill clear
for the first time | tempslibres |

the rush of the river
over stones | tempslibres |

the leaf shadow spreads
on the pond | tempslibres |
quarantine
we watch the bonsai
growing | tempslibres |
wind through the pines
I add his death date
to the family tree | tempslibres |
one finger
raised in greeting
heat wave | tempslibres |
machine gun fire
she stirs more honey
in her tea | tempslibres |
cinnamon oatmeal
still some things right
with the world | tempslibres |
edge of the woods
some things I may not want
to know | tempslibres |
beach vacation
every night between the sheets
a little more sand | tempslibres |
unconcerned
with divorce rates
mating butterflies | tempslibres |
the skipping stone
all the way across . . .
end of summer | tempslibres |
family dinner
our teen speaks
in hashtags | tempslibres |
night rain -
Chopin's nocturne
drowns it out | tempslibres |
summer rain -
lightning whites out
the street lights | tempslibres |
the crow -
balancing on a wire
"and now | in the wind" |
dawn haze -
the bulbul's trills
so clear | tempslibres |
midnight -
only jasmine now
and cricket song | tempslibres |
equinox -
the bulbul's song on the edge
between day and night | tempslibres |
spring evening -
a boy hums the tune I heard
half a mile ago | tempslibres |
tattered clouds -
the moon's whiteness is
icier tonight | tempslibres |
unaimed day -
beneath the flipped stone
five black beetles | tempslibres |
cricket song
"softly
outlasting" | the trucks |
red poppies...
the butterfly always just
out of reach | tempslibres |
night silence -
"despite the dogs
despite" | a crying baby |
monsoon clouds -
a heron bathes in a pool
of light | tempslibres |
night rain
a bat wings its way to
tomorrow | tempslibres |
unhurried
the egret whiter
than the clouds | tempslibres |
veins of lightning
split the sky -
smell of wet earth | tempslibres |
moonless
suddenly the silence
bigbangs into barking | tempslibres |
rain on leaves tiles earth
flute notes slither through
the water sounds | tempslibres |
grey-yellow dawn
a dove's urgent cooing
and the rain | tempslibres |
that cricket -
it's THERE
or THERE! | tempslibres |
still night -
the smell of fried fish drowns out
the traffic sounds | tempslibres |
through the window
half a mirror showing
a quarter room | tempslibres |
cool breeze -
a thousand things undone
I watch the moon | tempslibres |
storm-washed sky -
the bird songs
clearer | tempslibres |
midnight -
my earphones
keep out the silence | tempslibres |
darkening street -
two babblers on a wire
and then the moon | tempslibres |
midnight -
the windy silence
of the sickle moon | tempslibres |
after the solstice
this summer heat
still the same | tempslibres |
night drizzle
is that donkey's braying
filled with pain? | tempslibres |
hot oil sizzles
on an iron frying pan
kitchen god speaks | tempslibres |
darkening trees -
a flight of parakeets
brightly lit | tempslibres |
silver moon
a loudspeaker barks
at the night | tempslibres |
midday heat -
the insistent call
of a dove | tempslibres |
noon heat -
a pigeon shadow shimmers
across the tar | tempslibres |
unanswered
the dog's howl fades
into the night | tempslibres |
roadside cricket song -
the full moon's risen
above the wires | tempslibres |
moonless night
dead silence but for
one cricket | tempslibres |
day of remembrance -
the night silence
same as always | tempslibres |
evening voices
the moon
so huge | tempslibres |
rusty fence -
a sunbird
in one of the diamonds | tempslibres |
the rising moon pales
down here the cricket's
unwavering song | tempslibres |
"high-stepping
"
an egret walks its shadow | across a white wall |
bulbul blues
a yellow flower floats
in my tea cup | tempslibres |
lakeside
the long silence
before the loon's reply | tempslibres |
getting the phone -
the soft tapping
of the rocking chair | tempslibres |
rabbit in the moon
each dog has the last bark
till the next | tempslibres |
cold night
a cricket's
insistent mantra | tempslibres |
cloudy
the metal-edged whistle
of a dove's flight | tempslibres |
moon-paved road
I take the lane
without the dogs | tempslibres |
haze over the hills
the rain has filled
this morning's footprints | tempslibres |
night silence
a facebook cry
of loneliness | tempslibres |
deep silence
that crack in the wall
looks wider tonight | tempslibres |
the moon's emerged
now water drips only
under the trees | tempslibres |
last light
listening for the silence
behind the rain | tempslibres |
night rain -
baking smells from the house
with the jasmine | tempslibres |
brown earth
a hawk's reflection glides
across the puddle | tempslibres |
rain on the leaves
just one
firefly | tempslibres |
night rain
a bus rumbles through
the croaking of frogs | tempslibres |
red sun
the air glitters
with dragonflies | tempslibres |
dim porch light
I spit orange seeds
into the darkness | tempslibres |
shrilling cicadas
two women smile
at something else | tempslibres |
between fiery clouds
and shadowed earth
a string of egrets | tempslibres |
another year
the inscription hard to read
with all the grass | tempslibres |
naked light bulb
the rain on the leaves
barely audible | tempslibres |
roosting egrets
the lake's silence settles
on everything | tempslibres |
petal-strewn earth
a mynah hops into
a patch of sunlight | tempslibres |
declining moon
the old man's laughter
turns to coughing | tempslibres |
February chill
a punctured heart balloon
bright red in the dust | tempslibres |
