morning chill
she unpacks a purple heart
with her son’s flag
Haiku Headlines
May 2005. Second Place
after the storm
the blue
blue lobelia
Heron’s Nest
Spring 2005
start of a new year
I see blurry lines
at the eye doctor
Modern Haiku
Spring 2005
end of the year
with a thud
he drops the other shoe
end of a storm
smoothing the wrinkles
out of a blanket
Frogpond
Spring, 2005
suddenly parting
the billowed curtains release
a late summer breeze
Tinywords
September 17, 2004
winter evening
red beet water eddies
down the drain
Heron's Nest 2002
2nd Place (after 9/11)
he tries to sell me
a home security system--
dogs won't let him in
Haiku Headlines 2002
1st Place
in December's chill
the thinness of her body
as we hug goodbye
Frogpond 2003
a small window
wail of a loon pulls me
past the ticking clock
