Morning ritual

Light breaks. I heed the
call to darkness, cup rich black
magic in my hands.

Marriage

Some–like white wine–are
best when young. My French Bordeaux
grows better with age.

Poor business decision

I quit my job to
work on my haiku blog. Chance
of millions, slim / none.

On a cold winter’s night

Kitchen windows fogged,
oven-baked chicken is the
scent of homecoming.

Upon reading the work of a great writer

Breathless, punched in the
gut seeing language evolve,
my own words falter.

Afternoon rendezvous

She blithely sails out
the door. No explanations
save her secret smile.

Up all night

I would like to see
4 am start off my day
instead of end it.

New year’s resolutions

How apt. A bright snow
white day cleans the slate for our
future perfect selves.

New Year’s Day

In optimism
we cross the starting line of
the rest of our lives.

 

Rose Parade

Flower covered floats
in a warm SoCal city
I’ll never visit.
