Seasonal Haiku No. 6

a soft susurrus
precedes wild euphoria
after a cold spell

Seasonal Haiku No. 4

emerald treetops—
nature’s goldsmith intervenes;
gilded perfection

Epistemological Evergreen

portentous rumble
a tree falls in the forest
not a sound is heard

igne natura renovatur integra

Lo, the weed by the roadside,
Speechless, calculatingly cold,
Firmly rooted in time-worn soil;
Earth’s soldier lies in wait
Greedy to reclaim,
Once mankind’s time is spent,
What by right is Earth’s.

Cheesy

’cause of your old age
you’re hairy as a carpet
evil-smelling cheese!

Seasonal Haiku No. 3

enveloping warmth—
Persephone’s final moon.
Hades lies in wait.

Seasonal Haiku No. 2

through pilgarlic trees,
sunlight shines —a sweet caress—
bringing sprouts anew.

Chilly Chagrins

O’ inclement Wind,
you keep huffing on my pate;
ill-mannered cretin!

such Wintery, Woeful Winds;
what a Woeful, Windy Winter!
o Windy, Wintery Woe!

Serviette Memoirs

Memories remain
jotted down without much care
on dirty napkins

O, lingerer

Just lingering,
stuck in an airport; not much choice…
Just lingering,
and boarding pass a-fingering.
You’ll soon be home, so just rejoice.
And for an instant hear your voice,
just lingering.
