A black and white dog pauses on a snowy path looking back with the person who loves him most.

Heart around your neck,
red metal with your name: MACK,
I say it today.

A black and white dog pauses on a snowy path looking at the person who loves him most.

Just us on the path,
excitement in your portrait
about what’s ahead.

A black and white dog stands to the side of a path through a snow-covered forest on a midwinter day with the person who loves him most.

In midwinter snow
turned blue we walked the long path
just a year ago.

A black and white dog stands stands in a forest on a snowy day with snow on his nose with the person who loves him most.

We were out first thing,
curious for the new day,
thankful, together.

A view of dried wildflower stalks in snow with late-day blue shadows and a deer hoof print.

You were the center,
leading the way every walk,
through sun and shadows.

Haiku-a-day
A bleak field of black dried flower stalks against snow in winter.

Without you trotting
out ahead of me, sniffing,
there’s only absence.

A black and white dog starting out along a snowy path in a deep forest.

We stepped through them soft,
every thicket and forest,
mysteries each time.

A black and white dog looks happily over his shoulder in the snowy woods on a sunny day.

Towards our deep forest,
sixteen degrees and we ran,
owls hooted, sun shone.

Haiku-a-day
A sun setting low in the sky behind a bare forest in late winter.

The late Sunday light
falls in these confiding woods,
making blue shadows.

Haiku-a-day
A starling flying against a blue sky above a snowy pine tree.

A starling floats in
biting February wind,
surveying the grid.

Long blue shadows on a frozen lake surrounded by forest.

This time of bad news,
our walking lake is frozen,
drawn with blue shadows.

Three Trimpeter swans float in a line at a river's edge in winter.

Along the river
our steps are matched by these three
silent winter swans.

A frozen creek in winter with late day light.

For Jerry

This time of bad news,
the creek takes another form
in the fading light.

Haiku-a-day
Two white-tailed deer stand in a thicket in winter.

This time of bad news,
white-tailed deer stick together,
wait for us to pass.

Haiku-a-day
Bare forest trees with late-day blue shadows on the snow under a low sun.

At home in these woods —
the late day, blue-shadowed snow
displaces worry.

Haiku-a-day
Tree shadows on the snow under sun.

In these frail shadows
birds congregate and chatter
in my mother’s yard.

A handsome black and white dog in a snowy forest with perfect snowflakes on his nose and head.

The perfect snowflake
on my dog’s black fur eye patch —
the endless forests.

Animal foorprints on the snow on a frozen river.

Still and Sunday-like,
ice locks parts of the river,
animals walk it.

Haiku-a-day
Animal foorprints on the snow on a frozen river.

The moon replaced Mars
in the cold overnight sky —
silence with silence.

Haiku-a-day
Two parent Trumpeter swans and their offspring float on a partially frozen river.

Three Trumpeter swans
glide on the frozen river,
chat to each other.
