walk

her arm through mine

my hands in my pockets–

our winter walk

after

after the rain

that followed the snow–

bright moon!

Christmas Eve

the card seller

closes for the night

Here's one I've posted at a few blogs today

in an old yearbook

that girl I never kissed–

winter solstice

morning after

into the stillness

of this morning after snow

smoke from a chimney

snow after

the shovels

down from the attic

my winter bones

We got about a foot of it.

snow before

snow on the way

a shovel's weight

on my mind

the bees about

their business

voices

autumn afternoon

children's voices wake me

from a daydream

This one is slightly out of season, and the next few posts will be as well. They were written a while ago, and they have recently been published in Notes from the Gean.

new site

I've just added a new site to the list of "other good sites" to the left. This site features haiku, senryu, and occasionally tanka related to and inspired by current news stories. For example, my "Afghanistan," recently posted here, appears there in a version more directly tied to the New York Times story that inspired it. Click on "Haiku News" to visit this site.

kick

light in the window

I kick the snow

off my boots

This is a memory of winters past. We may be in for our first snow of this season tonight. I've posted versions of this as a comment at a couple of blogs.
