The Risk of Reaching for the Stars

This enormous thing
We hurl toward the stars explodes,
And still we're hopeful.

Songbirds at the Feeder

 At my window birds
Take an aerie perch for lunch
Fail to thank the cook.

 The Cat and the Canary

Like the cat that's caught
The canary, all smug-faced
I walk beside her.

 Day's End on the Sound

Last light fast fading
As the ferries ply the Sound
On their way back home.

Up and Out

Thick darkling forest
The road climbs up towards light
Toward sun-soaked breezes.

Daisy at the Window

There at the window
Daisy watching the squirrels run
Up and down the trees.

April 15 - Strumming on the Old Banjo (a haiku)

 

Strummin' on the Old Banjo

Me and my homies
Homemade music our small gift,
Our hearts to God's ear.
