Just as one year ends,
Another begins.  And our
Journey continues.

31 December 2017

Tomorrow, another beginning, as The Haiku Project 2018 gets underway.  You can follow along here.

Nearly midnight, and
The dog's  prancing in the yard,
Making the snow fly.

28 December 2017

Sitting at my desk,
Reading, not for the first time,
A Christmas poem.

27 January 2017

A good day to stay
At home, inside, safe and warm,
Watching the pond freeze.

25 December 2017

A cold, snowy day.
Sunlight's reflection blinding
In late afternoon.

21 December 2017

We live, day by day,
Quietly, without drama...
Then the world explodes.

20 December 2017

Anticipating
The arbitrary onset
Of a "new year."  Why?

19 December 2017

A cardinal pecks
At something on the sidewalk...
But what could it be?

16 December 2017

Trying to avoid
Attachment to this world and
Rejection of it.

15 December 2017

Bare trees, their branches
Black lines against the sunset.
And I stare at them.

13 December 2017

Sitting in the dark,
Listening to the wind, and
Wishing I could sleep.

10 December 2017

Even bright sunshine
Fails to warm our sun room.  One
More sign of winter.

9 December 2017

Walking cautiously.
Trying not to slip and fall
With snow underfoot.

8 December 2017

Snowflakes drifting down
To cover the fallen leaves
For a day or two.

7 December 2017

Cold winds and dark clouds
Weeks-early signs of winter...
I'm too old for this.

4 December 2017

Looking like winter...
Grey skies, cold rain, the last few
Leaves at last falling.
