Central Park
pigeons circling
our quarrel

a wintry mix
in the forecast . . .
spring equinox

This what you might call Documentary Haiku.

counting syllables
I have seventeen of them
but they don't add up

petals in the wind . . .
my neighbors practise
tai-chi

scent of the sea . . .
the hike we used to take
when we were young
