My cat--

My cat--
a furry oval in

a rectangle of bright sun.

On the dying bush—

one bright flower.

Feathery crane

stalks the grey sand 

------

Blue water--

a lone sandpiper

and many gulls.

Far off laughter

bright yellow sun, 

bright blue water.

Fearless, bright cricket

Fearless, bright cricket--
on the other side of the glass,
a wistful cat.

Brown-gray lizard stalks...

Brown-gray lizard stalks
a cricket-- bright-eyed crow
watches every move.

The Lizards and I: Two Haiku

Seeing my shadow, 
lizards flee into tall grass.
I've disturbed the peace!

---------------------------

Bright sun warms grey rock--
the lizard's patterned back
blending in.

Dark periwinkle
curves of clouds, lit by the
bright yellow moon.  Super!

Dark periwinkle
curves of clouds, lit by the
bright yellow Supermoon.

One star shines brightly—
more than all the others. I
try not to hate it.

Pyracanthus (2) -- Written a couple of months ago.

Against Winter's dead,

all the more brightly.

Can You Tell I Find the Fog Depressing?

All Written Yesterday:



The hills' bright green dulled
by thick grey fog -- even the
sun's bright orb is dimmed.

---------------------



Fog curls dark fingers
around the tips of trees. Grey
darkens the bright green.

---------------------



Why do I seem sad?
Even the sun struggles to
pierce this dank morning!

One of the Nicest Things I've Seen in Weeks

Deep blue waters, sky
of grey -- the crane's feathers shine
bright white against them.
