Haiku-a-day
A deer feeds on grass next to a fallen tree with gray branches on a cloudy day in November.

Deer’s neck like a branch,
gray branch like the deer’s soft neck,
the day’s devotion.

A closeup of maple seeds on a sunny day in November.

Hope comes from somewhere —
the soft fingers of maple
seedheads in the wind.

A view of a creek and grasslands on a cloudy day in November.

Gray as a gravestone,
cold as the November creek,

Starlings gather in a tree for migration.

Planning their leaving,
starlings replace every leaf,
sky, filled with their sound.

A bouquet of white and pink cosmos in a vase with other flowers.

My mother’s cosmos,
like giant moons for the bees —

A forest path covered with leaves in October.

It’s strange to be here,
in your forest without you,
leaves crunch, how you liked.

An October sunrise over a foggy grassland and a tree on a creekbank.

Deer steam through grasslands,
birds arrange and rearrange
for the change to come.
