Notes from the Gean Tree

My latest haiku published here.

Hi, Alan! I see we're "following" each other again in the publications. Great work!

littoral

littoral
with each wave a grain of sand
given and taken

shadows lengthen

shadows lengthen
a crimson leaf rests
on the sundial

open window

open window
the cellist's
slow vibrato

lotus pond

lotus pond
tadpoles feast
on a seedpod

honeysuckle

honeysuckle
the hummingbird
presses in deeper

on the lake

on the lake
water's reflection dances
across her face

algae bloom

algae bloom
the green frog jumps
into my green pond

autumn grasses

autumn grasses
at least the tea
remains green

Atlanta traffic

Atlanta traffic
pondering the manner
of my death

low tide

low tide
a gull's wing curves
over the curved earth

jelly-making

jelly-making
a parade of ants
sticks to the counter

alone

alone
dabbing on perfume
anyway

Publication

Check out my latest publication in the autumn edition of Simply Haiku: haiku and haibun

sirens

sirens pierce the night
the stillborn's
unheard cries

deep shade

deep shade
the deep purple sweetness
of serviceberries

perseids

perseids
we help mother blow out
sixty-three candles

August heat

August heat
the pregnancy test results
become clear

this is not an announcement; it's just an image. :-)

damselflies

damselflies
dart across the water
a bluer blue

the fading sunset

the fading sunset
at her bedside
he strokes her hair

flight of time

the egret lifts off
contemplating the flight
of time

first light

first light
heeding the cardinal's
call to prayer

end of summer

end of summer
more cucumbers
than neighbors

this steady rain

this steady rain
the one thing I needed
you couldn't do:
to love me
without stint
