Chasing each other,
Shadow and light over hills…
Spry clouds in spring wind!
Shadow and Light, #33
haiku
Sunrise, #31
The sunrise reveals,
Embraced with seeding grasses,
The morning dewdrops
In the forest, #30
Spring Solomon blooms
Twinkling in the Forest floor
Fill the Pines shadow
Lilacs, #30
Blooms hold the spring rain,
Bearing it another day
Lilac Branches bend
Friend, #29
A garden shovel
leaning on the Apple tree…
Hello, long lost friend!
Rain, #28
1
Painting a sidewalk
Apple tree blossoms dripping,
A light morning rain
2
Vanishing from sight
Robin returns with a worm,
Time to mow the lawn!
3
Afternoon thunder
Raindrops roll down the window…
Sad tears! Joyous tears!

When the sun came out
It was just for a moment
That I saw the rain…
Evening winds, #26
A warm spring wind
I soak my toes at the shore
A bird flys backward
Fences, #24
Between the fences
A tumbleweed bounces by
The whistling pigs
Garden, #22
The garden spring peas
Push through the crusty soil
An unhurried voice
A Cloudy Day, #20
Against a white sky
A Weeping Pussy Willow
Swipe of an ink brush
In a comment in my latest post, my friend Nicole congratulated me on the birth of my first grandchild. I am so happy for my daughter and son-in-law and their bringing a beautiful life into this world. I am grateful they are all home and resting.
I wrote the following haiku in response to the timing of my grandson’s birth and how practicing social distancing and the limitations created by the COVID19 pandemic has affected our culture. I did this after I was made aware of an artist project titled “Social Distance, Haiku and You.”
Grandson through pictures
Our sick dying all alone
An ache in the heart
