taking me back…
water laps gently
at the shore
Dim Sum
***
our turn
to stand here-
falls overlook
Frogpond
***
mountain brook-
the indistinguishable spring
of voices
Mayfly
***
in the garden
sitting alone-
who i am now
Dim Sum
***
in the dark
through the window light
my wife and child
Modern Haiku
***
daybreak-
the spider centered
in its web
Dim Sum
***
long wait alone
in the parking lot…
a dog in the next car
Raw Nervz
***
on the way home
more geese
on the way home
Frogpond
***
returning the water
from the vase
to the flower garden
Dim Sum
***
letting her
walk all over me
– ladybug
bottle rockets
***
potluck luncheon
a yellow jacket cleans
its antennae
Dim Sum
***
the cat’s eyes
so wide…
for a gnat
HN 2001 Members Anthology
***
undefended:
in the cold raiN
their snow fort
Frogpond
***
the way
rain takes
the mountain
Frogpond
***
Ducks riding the lake
brushed rough by wind;
pilings rimed with ice
Modern Haiku 1988
***
mountaintop:
giving back
each breath
Brussels Sprout v.XI : no.1 Jan. 1994

lunch alone
without a book
i read my mind
Brussels Sprout v.XI : no.1 Jan. 1994
***
rushing
to the zendo to sit
still
Brussels Sprout v.XI : no.2 May 1994
***
daybreak-
rubber duck alone
in the empty tub
Haiku Quarterly summer 1994
***
on the trail again…
walking deeper
into myself
Frogpond summer 1994
***
autumn moonlight
folded in
the clothes on the floor
Modern Haiku summer 1994
***
the way
the light bulb rests
in the rest of the trash
Modern Haiku fall 1994
***
day break-
from the bread truck’s roof
frost swirls
Woodnotes #25
***
one tree
one bird, one song
the dusk
Frogpond 1995
***
x-ray room
they remove
her crucifix
Modern Haiku fall 1995
***
alone in the waiting room
checking the plant
for reality
