sinking sun a course of tides overcomes red stained sands #haiku

found blessing of forgetting the umbrella #haiku

not for you mews the cat’s belly sleeping in #haiku

unforecasted a cloudburst takes up the extra hour #haiku

Halloween night I watch a silver snail inch by me #haiku

penny counter stretching through the soup shop green dots for Lincoln #haiku

still nestled into silver blankets a star and moon #haiku

gold dust the forgiving eyes of the feral cat #haiku

a wish or two slipped through the slot ballot box #haiku

oleander pink catching the eighties vibes Anna’s hummingbird #haiku

melting the stars that fell in my coffee #haiku

dew reluctantly defrosts on cattails #haiku

lovers theater the breeze rakes through oak’s bare limbs #haiku

midnight a greaser gang hops the gate wet raccoons #haiku

two Africas swimming and dissolving in blue above #haiku

flutter the white lined blue eyes rain tomorrow #haiku

in fallen leaves the feral cat greets me belly up #haiku

under sole the crunch of calico October #haiku

Friday night fishing expedition vegetarian pho #haiku

one more time the sidewalk warms up under old dog paws #haiku

forgiving the trespass ledge spider #haiku

the wilt arrives before the bronze old plum tree #haiku

apart, he sends a biography of each dog he meets #haiku

an afternoon spent with my nephew beading wisteria seeds #haiku

leaning back against the high back clouds autumn sun #haiku

before the roar of the blue angels killdeer song #haiku

kibble the cat rubs my leg until the fish substitute #haiku

the weep of nearby foghorns awake early #haiku

cheep talk knee deep in the pond committee of terns #haiku

valencia street bodega cat stretches out in shopkeep’s shadow #haiku
