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?

Goldenrod After Rainfall

Mount Greylock, Massachusetts, U.S.A.

wringing out 
a rain-soaked t-shirt, 
my son smiles

Rain over Mount Greylock

unescapable 
dramatic tide of dark clouds,  
the first drop falls

Abandoned at the Railyard

still sidecars 
no schedule or passengers, 
just ghost conductors

Tear Down This Wall

no matter how grand 
every wall falls to wind, storm 
and time

Bridge over the River Fergus

grey stones strung with red, 
the River Fergus ripples 
with silent ghosts
