Night before the Academy Awards

Dreams of Oscars like
sugarplums dance in their heads.
Hollywood’s Christmas.

Sephora

Kid in candy shop
I dab on product in search
of my true colors.

Mom’s casual embrace

Longing to hug them,
I wait ’til they flutter near
like moths to my flame.

Beading obsession

Handful of turquoise
begs to be strung with silver
draped around my neck.

Panasonic possibilities

Got a new camera.
What moments will it capture
in pixels and bytes?

Lunar eclipse

Luminous  suitor,
the moon dimmed by darkness’s
seductive regard.

haiku envy

greatness revealed in
the sound of splinters, words that
pierce my jealous eyes.

Delayed gratification

Let delight ripen
into a sweet juicy pear
True joy takes patience.

In sleep

Her breath sounds like the
whistle of distant trains bound
for lands beyond dreams.

Misty mountain hop

Dawn the breath of a
new day paused when night exhales
sunrise dimmed by fog.
