Bare Red Branches

 

bare red branches show 

a dozen wings in motion 

squirrel steals an apple 

Remembrance

 
remembrance
a thousand poems from
one act of kindness

May 29, 2020 I wrote my first haiku poem thanking an anonymous person for leaving a bouquet of flowers on our front step. Her intention for this one act of kindness was to counterbalance the fear generated from the COVID lockdown and the riots that were occurring at multiple sites in Minneapolis after the death of George Floyd, which occurred two miles west of our home.

That haiku was the beginning of a life-changing experience I will never forget.

Noodling Around

 

noodling around
seeking winter fun on ice
when niece comes north


A Clean Apron

 
a clean apron is
a story waiting to be told -
splashed sauces tell of
life well-lived ... food well-eaten
memories made with love
*

A light haiku that just popped up because I've discovered aprons as an art-form. LOL

Text Announcement

 

text announcement
niece's winter visit
smiles all around

Light and Shadow

 

light and shadow  

call to fill empty spaces  

discontent ... contented  


* * * * *

 

deep in a forest  

seek the life-changing path  

in light or shadow 

Wood Chips


scattered wood chips  

a severed tree stump 

mourning the loss

Letters



C.O.V.I.D.
letters that should go away
feel cold and achy

Thread of Life


thread of life  

points sojourners to their path  

through the needle's eye  

Another "JAB"

 
twisting my hair
waiting 15 minutes
after "the jab"

#twist

Got the COVID Booster shot. Sign asks you to wait 15 minutes for them to observe one's reaction.

Incumbent Mayor Jacob Frey, IMHO,
