Alone time

I burn candles and
incense. Maintain silence. Find
myself in nothing.

Knitting project

Fat balls of yarn crowd
my home like clawless kittens,
needling me to start.

Anticipation

Making travel plans,
like getting dressed for a date,
is a leap of faith.

Christmas lights

Like flickering tongues
of flame in green…blue…red. Just
plug in and enjoy.

Picking Christmas trees

Like speed dating, if
they make a good impression,
they come home with us.

After the storm

Inside the snowglobe
winter’s still life settles as
flakes swirl in the air.

Thrill of the kill

Urban mall jungle.
Shoppers prowl for deals, fangs bared,
credit cards dripping.

Otherworlds

Viriconium,
Gormenghast, Majipoor. Dark
journeys. Twisted dreams.

Color of winter

White has many shades.
Shadow blue, sunlit gold, grey
of approaching storm.

Bonnie’s haikus

Small delicate word
studies
of a larger life
viewed by an artist.
