Syllables counted,

events noted, and thoughts caught

in an ancient net.

2009 and

Haiku Whereareu, good-bye.

Thanks for all the fish.

December 29, 2009

A cup of hot tea,

a spoonful of sugar, and

no reason to move.

December 28, 2009

Haiku in a blog;

old wine, new cask. We've drunk and

passed the glass around.

December 25, 2009

This year's Book of Life

draws closed, names dropped and added,

still in full color.

December 22, 2009

Daylight one minute

longer, one more tomorrow.

Spring sprouts in the dark.

December 18, 2009

Shortly shortest day.

Plug in lights and turn up heat,

wait for dark's retreat.

December 15, 2009

Morning stillness here,

but tumult rages elsewhere.

Fire surrounding stone.

December 11, 2009

The year winds down, but

energy levels wind up.

Flurries predicted.

December 1, 2009

Stroke of twelve. Just time

for a final waltz before

the pumpkin rolls home.

Thanksgiving 2009

The ions, spinning,

charged, split from their molecule,

briefly rebond back.

November 24, 2009

Recipes, menu,

flow chart to guide troop movement.

Assault on T-Day.

November 23, 2009

One weight spread wings, flew.

Another ebbed like the tide.

I, buoyant, float up.

November 18, 2009

A friend's visit makes

me lonesome for passers-by

to welcome back home.

November 17, 2009

Done pile neatly stacked.

Only a conclusion left

on the to-do pile.

November 16, 2009

Leaves accumulate.

Pounds, bills accumulate, too.

Just time slips away.

November 13, 2009

Friday the 13th

Bad luck arrives late,

spooks gone, rain finally stopped.

Move on. You missed out.

November 12, 2009

Hibernation day.

Rain and manuscript pages.

Music without words.

November 11, 2009

Veterans Day 2009

Text on "use of force"

reads abstract, bloodless, while rain

falls on countless graves.

November 10, 2009

Moment's illusion:

kids, moms well; deadlines distant;

tea sweet; breeze still warm.

November 9, 2009

Bees dance their vectors,

we leave Post-It notes instead

to describe our paths.
