sunset unfolds
one still summer night, 
and restores my mood

Umbrella Stained Glass

toasties and crumble 
beneath a magical sky, 
family smiles

Abbey Twilight

cloudless sunset, 
spun gold at the horizon, 
Irish twilight

On a Cold and Frosty Morning

February glumps and glooms. 
Evergreens don snowy costumes.  

Swansdown swirls in the frosty dawn, 
and the wind’s song is woebegone.

Haunts of Ennis Abbey

stone walls frame 
old monkish dormitories 
left to the lichen 

low doorways, tiny cells, 
and silent contemplation

In the Flow

memories flash, 
silver fish in the shallows 
river-cold then gone

Layers of Light

clouds on Mount Greylock, 
ever-changing layers of 
dark and light

Lonely in San Diego

lonely stretches 
of shorn grass except high up, 
birds

Together by the Tree

out of the rain and snow, 
laughing away long dark days 
beside the tree

Happy New Year!

the cold arrives like
Sangria on ice, 
now where’s the guacamole?

Notes: Last poem of the year, and it seems like a day to break the rules. So there the haiku rules go, right out the window, woo-hoo! Happy New Year!!

I went to see Six today, and it was great. Loved it.

Snug and Cozy

snug and cozy 
despite the gales of winter, 
family and friends: 
carols, games, laughter and fun, 
serious thoughts left behind

Sunset in the Skies

Do you see the moon?

the moon, the mountains 
the misty light at sunset, 
is this why birds fly?
