Just water on rock.
And yet, sheer power compels
visitors to gape.

New mother
She curls around the
baby like a spiral shell
protecting its snail.
Harbinger of spring
An unexpected
crocus emerges, smiling
from a brown leaf pile.
Natural born plant killers
No one waters them.
Tiny cells plead, but TV
seems more important.
You take after your mother
My weirdness is as
apparent in my kids as
streaks in a fake tan.
If gum were chocolate
Like cows with their cud
we would chew constantly, and
then we’d all swallow.
500 haikus
From a Revealing
start to this auspicious point –
my life in short form.
Inexplicable sadness
In wordless despair
M dissolves in tears clutching
me like a life vest.
Laptop
An adult blankie.
To take one from its owner
will make grown men cry.
Ironing as a metaphor
Smoothing over the
wrinkles in life takes more cold
cash than hot metal.
