In the doctor’s office

Perched on the exam
table like a rib roast on
white butcher paper.

Coffee date

Conversational
buzz a backdrop to clinking
spoons stirring white clouds.

Almost spring

Snowpack seems solid
but underneath, droplets sing
of melting caverns.

Other daughter’s boyfriend

Bandana over
his sweet smile, ninja to his
anime girlfriend.

Daughter’s boyfriend

He won me over
with his Facebook comment on
her profile picture

Paperless Christmas

Being green we use
fabric bags old boxes to
wrap gifts. No trees die.

Christmas LED lights

Like laser pointers
they blind in red green blue as
they save the planet

Abandoned haiku blog

My door open, but
the rooms are empty, thoughts like
forgotten relics.

Away too long

Stories always tell
of the one who wanders, then
returns home…like me.

Longest night of the year

Soon, darkness recedes.
But tonight I wrap myself
in velvet-starred black.
