Spring Haiku | 3.3.25 - ongoing

3.3.25

alone
one star
is enough.

-

3.4.25

the absence
before clouds
crescent moon

-

3.11.25

daytime moon
the white blossoms
of pear trees

-

3.14.25

the blood moon
fades into white light
radiant forest

-

3.14.25

so soon…
pear tree petals
in the wind

-

3.8.25

the drifting fade
of cloud strokes
absence blooms

-

3.28.25

alone
a black tadpole
hidden in light

-

4.2.25

the growing shadow
of the canopy

-

4.11.25

lightning blooms
to feel a cloud and fade

-

4.14.25

watching it rise
from the deep…
a bright bubble

-

4.15.25

waves end
a dripping branch
over water

-

4.17.25

closed blinds
a pillar of light
bleeds in

-

4.23.25

minds quiet
cloud edges
wisp away

-

4.26,25

silencing my mind
the forest floods
with birdsong

-

4.28.25

sitting -
a tree resting
within ivy

-



5.6.25

spring clouds -
resting in the grass 
a white moth

Winter Haiku | 12.31.24 - 2.21.25

12.31.24

even in New York
I'll stay home
for New Years Eve

-

1.4.25 
one star twinkles -
the sidewalk covered 
in sweetgum seeds

-

1.6.25

winter sun -
between tree shadows 
gnats dance

-

1.13.25
snowfall...
each step
I take.

-

1.17.25

wondering
how long it will take:
shaded snow

-

1.21.25

old tire swing -
the sound of chimes
in winter winds

-

1.27.25

endless mountains...
one of them
is me

-

1.30.25
the shush of leaves
shush me -
winter sunset

-

2.2.25
he, too, is 
taking lunch alone -
two crows wander 

-

2.6.25

two weeks notice 
a hawk glide's
below a storm

-

2.10.25

the cracks
between clouds
a blooming sun 

-

2.8.25

alone 
I watch the moon
grow brighter

-

2.15.25

growing colder…
I take in
the sunset

-

2.17.25

between
blades of grass
the shimmer of webs

-

2.21.25

up and down
the winter mountain
a sunlit path
