these melting moments
glacial shift, rippling sea
the ticks are crawling

cedar tree slanting
without the aid of march ice
spring reveals shadows

black talon buzzing
a sharp grip on power lines
cold winter voltage

run, tiny rabbit
fur betrays the lack of snow
El Niño winters

I've just been slowly collecting haikus - keeping some, and tossing the rest out. My goal is to get to 120 poems and do a chap book.

one less laugh at dawn
quieter now, and each year
family christmas

Hey there,

I self-released a book of poetry last January and am now working on a book of haiku.

Thanks for asking ☺️
