Neighborhood Haiku

the afternoon sky

latticed and mirrored

still waters reflect

so familiar
this common stretch of the road
known, but ever new

Left by the roadside

and missing one spoke, I see.

Yet it spoke to me.

river caked with ice

no need to step with caution

just to watch it flow

up close I feel it move

this water floeing past me

on its way to Time

A child's wooden house

abandoned, left to rot there.
Every year more age.

shadows on shed wall

three trees converse in the sun,

overheard by none

in the nursing home

two old friends sit side by side

winter can't get in

creatures that take flight
get a birds' eye view of all,
choose to land or not.
