leafless branches sing
one thousand conversations
a floating feather

leafless branches sing
one thousand conversations
a floating feather

waterfall roaring
the dripping of melting snow
weaves a melody

under the branches
sunken leaves and cloudy skies
daytime-nighttime dreams

slick as ice -I slip!
treading waters and branches
meandering clouds

pure water stirring
waves trickle across the sand
February thaw

wonderful ruckus!
snowmelt flows -a babbling stream
two-year-old grandson

river of starlight
snowmelt pond an empty sky
cattail seeds shimmer


winter storm winds cease
froth from soaring waves adrift
Palouse rolling swells

waning winter moons
above melting snow -listening
worms till underneath

I’ve never noticed
pine trees sewing needle lace
until last night’s snow

silent winter song
a bow stroke from frog to tip
without a quiver

a broken shadow
drifting clouds after the storm
floats a hazy moon
This week I went for a lunch-hour winter walk in the Arboretum. It had been a while since visiting there. I took a few photographs and share them here along with a haiku poem.





her fragile fingers
shuttle weaves through forest edge
whole and half notes dance

creek’s whispering breeze
thaw reveals Moscow Mountain
melting moonlight -drip
