Snow in March

Hats, gloves, put away
in optimism return
for winter’s last gasp.

Earl Grey

Bergamot infused
leaves unfurl comfort. Problems
dissipate like steam.

For whom the bell tolls

From an estate sale –
pendulum clock. Westminster
chimes now count my days.

New York City from the air

Like a jeweler
displaying gems on velvet
wealth gleams beyond reach

1964 World’s Fair Unisphere

Flushing Meadows Park
once a site of hope. There, a
globe pledged future peace.

Morning in LeFrak City

On a cluttered Queens
balcony he stands, watching
the complex decay.

only blog can make a tree

a dilemma of
riches in tiny topaz
the art of language

haikouldn’t ask it of you

“Read my poem? Please?”
In real life I’d get blank stares.
Here, you’re back for more.

Dubious milestone

Just over five months
This one four hundred fifty
Art or wasted time?

I’ve lied to you

A haiku a day?
Not quite. Some days the tap runs,
some days it’s bone dry.
