Caruso recording -
the gramophone crackle
lights the fires in his eye | tempslibres |
the police car slows -
suburban foxes
looting from bins | tempslibres |
restless -
across the summer night
siren upon siren | tempslibres |
still the spent firework's
cordite smell -
nest of serpents | tempslibres |
the name
I didn't want to see -
bitter coffee | tempslibres |
airborne again -
the roadkill's
feathers | tempslibres |
road trip
at the end of the argument
a patch of blue | tempslibres |
the heather still in bloom -
we take Mum the long way
back to the hospice | tempslibres |
chuntering at something
the blackbird on the fence post
- election day | tempslibres |
weaving its way
through the rush hour traffic
a white butterfly | tempslibres |
bringing only
silence
the storm cloud's weight | tempslibres |
roadside memorial -
the faded plastic windmills
still racing | tempslibres |
two minutes silence
the shifting light
of a windy day | tempslibres |
sea mist...
watching the seal
watching me | tempslibres |
looking at
the mirror's reflection
is that really you ? | tempslibres |
riverside promenade --
seniors stroll through
falling leaves | tempslibres |
Empty eyes
gaze at a poppy field...
journey's end. | tempslibres |
a layer of ice
forms on the red sleigh--
february rains | tempslibres |
high tide--
feeling the moon's pull
in the waves | tempslibres |
january freeze--
koi chase each other
above the television | tempslibres |
groundhog day...
sharing a sausage
with friends | tempslibres |
autumn seabreeze...
a film of salt forms
on his glasses | tempslibres |
grey morning...
a whale on the beach lies
shrouded in fog | tempslibres |
beyond blossoms
under the cherry tree...
white snow cover | tempslibres |
new widescreen tv:
watching junk in
high definition | tempslibres |
winter day's end...
"a bowl of brown rice miso
" | warm in the hands |
december warm spell
the neighborhood snowmen
are all plastic | tempslibres |
frosty meadow--
another dawn
reaches across | tempslibres |
between sips...
reading a book
about sake | tempslibres |
her piano-playing
comes to an end...
sounds of autumn hail | tempslibres |
first snowfall
the dog's legs
have become shorter | tempslibres |
first snowfall...
here is a christmas card
"to be mailed | last year" |
"at a desk
"
i write | this ku |
a bluejay takes flight--
the neighbour's car
needs washing | tempslibres |
in the back alley
school-kids puffing away
in the shadow of a chimney | tempslibres |
clothes dried on the line–
a spring morning
still in the folds | tempslibres |
between
the swelling sound of crickets
pressing heat | tempslibres |
spring showers
I peel a red onion
in running water | tempslibres |
river walk
the scent of lilacs
and fresh tar | tempslibres |
our new home
neglected in and out
but for white lilacs | tempslibres |
at the lumber mill
only the river noises
and the wind | tempslibres |
moss covered church
creeping through the open door
the warmth of May | tempslibres |
crackling in the air–
on a frigid afternoon
tea and ginger snaps | tempslibres |
ripe wheat fields
"listening to the swoosh
swoosh" | as rain clouds approach |
dinner at sunset
rainbow bubbles
on the koi pond | tempslibres |
neighbors shouting
from the wild grapes
multiple bird calls | tempslibres |
field of dandelions
thousands of wishes
going unused | tempslibres |
my umbrella
flipped in the wind–
uncertain days | tempslibres |
masons at work
creeping along the stone wall
afternoon fog | tempslibres |
death of a friend
more leaves
turning brown | tempslibres |
white sheets on the line
slow-motion clouds
in the summer sky | tempslibres |
wild roses
the iron trellis
tilts to one side | tempslibres |
spring dawn
with the returning geese
my mind takes flight | tempslibres |
the old town
even now the rough stones
soak up the warmth | tempslibres |
early morning walk
reaching through the mist
for wild berries | tempslibres |
a walk to the beach
the asphalt road changes
to sand | tempslibres |
morning mist-
we follow the scent
of slow moving cows | tempslibres |
bird song
pulling me out of a dream
first day of spring | tempslibres |
haiku group
the discussion stops
for a robin | tempslibres |
bus stop-
the winter dance
of cold feet | tempslibres |
fresh snow
beginning the new year
with a clean slate | tempslibres |
party over
the snap crackle of logs
in an empty room | tempslibres |
tea in china cups
the wet afternoon perfumed
with tangerine peels | tempslibres |
the heat wave broken
morning coffee sweetened
with a cool breeze | tempslibres |
cold sunshine
the stray orange cat
tucked into itself | tempslibres |
sleety rain
flowered umbrellas
sold out | tempslibres |
summer reading
the dot of an i
moves down the page | tempslibres |
drifting
from somewhere
pear blossoms | tempslibres |
a curve in the road
looking for lilacs
in the wind | tempslibres |
the rain over
even with eyes shut
I know it's spring | tempslibres |
gray and cold-
a hothouse bouquet
for his widow | tempslibres |
incoming fog
a forgotten memory
comes in flashes | tempslibres |
from an open barn
the odor of hay and manure
and climbing roses | tempslibres |
"plot
plop on the road?"
cars follow the cow trail | to the milking barn |
moon gazing
fogging up the cold window
with my breath | tempslibres |
snowy afternoon
a slow accumulation
of desire | tempslibres |
stacking stones
for a garden wall
the weight of their age | tempslibres |
bouquets of lilacs
the last bunch fills
a milk bottle | tempslibres |
twilight rain
the scent of lilacs
through the window | tempslibres |
dead heading lilacs
the fragrance lingers
in memory | tempslibres |
April warmth-
a new crop of dandelions
since yesterday | tempslibres |
an ant in my bed-
for the two of us
not enough room | tempslibres |
a shift in the wind
all my neighnbor's leaves
are now mine | tempslibres |
morning fog
a watercolor wash
of maple gold | tempslibres |
sleety rain
waiting on the embers
before bed | tempslibres |
Hurricane Irene
in the semi-darkness
a cold breakfast | tempslibres |
heavy time
slowly ticking the minutes
Hurricane Irene | tempslibres |
Fourth of July
watching fireflies
on the lawn | tempslibres |
between morning chores
I open the door-
lilacs in the rain | tempslibres |
all day long
the rhythmic beat
of melting ice | tempslibres |
blank date book-
the gray afternoon
turns to white | tempslibres |
sleet and rain-
stirring extra sugar
into hot mush | tempslibres |
tree trimming
we listen to the music
of soft rain | tempslibres |
early autumn
the sound of falling water
is cold | tempslibres |
at the lawn concert
lighting one spot at a time-
fireflies | tempslibres |
cricket in the house-
if only we shared
the same bedtime | tempslibres |
the Thanksgiving meal -
after eating the talk
slows down | tempslibres |
black-out--
the holiday glow
of fireflies | tempslibres |
black-out--
in my neighbor's house
a room to room glow | tempslibres |
A rippled moon :
"In the pond
" | A sinking stone. |
