Stretching and yawning...
Time to join my wife, to sleep,
To wake at sunrise.

On a winding road,
Destination uncertain,
I drive warily.

More storms today, and
Years ago, I would have danced
In the pouring rain.

A song from my past
Plays in my mental jukebox--
"Tangled up in blue."

Two ducks in the yard,
Chasing each other around
The pond, wings flapping.

If I close my eyes
And shut my ears, I can hope
The world will survive.

Waiting in my car,
I'm listening to the rain's
Insistent rhythm.

After last night's storms,
A sunny, windy day and
Ducks in the front yard.

Basho's frog splashed in
The pond and was gone. Mine
Croaks throughout the night.

(Basho's haiku:
The old pond;
A frog jumps in —
The sound of the water.
Translated by R.H. Blyth)

A robin splashing
In a puddle, flies away
Singing as it goes.

No rain for a while,
And the birds are singing when
I walk through the yard.

A lifetime ago,
Walking home, learning of four
Dead in Ohio.

Time to let things go,
To withdraw into our home,
To try to find peace.

On a narrow street
Growing against a gray wall
A few pink roses.
