Haiku-a-day
A folded colorful origami paper circle tied with twine at the center.

Years of making things,
trying to make sense of days—
sometimes a blank mind.

A handsome black and white dog smiling in the sun with view from a bridge of the Huron River in August, flourishing with green growth and the sunlight of late day.

Friday on the bridge,
we see the flowing, blooming,
fantastical world.

A view from a bridge of the Huron River in August, flourishing with green growth and the sunlight of late day.

The velvety bank
of the full, bustling river,
lush with memory.

An Eastern Swallowtail butterfly feeds on a white teasel blossom coming in.

The teasel comes in
for the Eastern Swallowtail,
soft-bodied, soft-eyed.

of the sunflower head—

A periwinkle-colored morning glory.

The feel of August—
morning glories on the rail,
the color of sky.

A large yellow sunflower in a wildflower bouquet in a turquoise cermaic pitcher on an art table against a colorfully collaged tackboard.

Your bright yellow head,
home with me now, sunflower—
we nod to the sun.

Haiku-a-day
Wild carrot blooming in July.

Picking wild carrot,
by the side of unlined roads—
all seemed possible.

Haiku-a-day
A talisman of Mary and baby Jesus hung outside with light from the setting sun on it.

These arms can’t protect—
hung for comfort anyway,
sun, low in the sky.

A Garnet-Gilled Milkcap mushroom growing in the grass with the light of the setting sun shining on it.

The gilled, gilded world,
decorated with wisdom—
beauty overlooked.

Haiku-a-day
An old sepia-toned photo from 1925 of a young woman smiling in an orchard cleverly posing in front of a tree and harvesting ladder as if she is about to eat the fruit in her hand.

There is a way out,
poets know there’s a way through—
follow the poets.

A meadow in summer at the edge of a forest with a hard to spot small deer in it.

There’s a deer in here,
eating at the forest’s edge,
wild carrot, bee balm.

Haiku-a-day
A nest lined with deer fur on the ground next to maple tree seedpods.

Nest out of the tree,
my guess, made by goldfinches,
I’ve seen them sing here.

Haiku-a-day
A male and female pair of colorfully painted wooden dolls in a folkloric, European style standing against a red hardcover edition of the W.D. Snodgrass book of poems titled, The Heart's Needle. Next to them is a gold round California pottery vase.

we live for all the beauty,
we live for nature.

A red nasturtium bloom with a leaf with a hole chewed in the shape of a heart by an insect.

Glowing nasturtium,
leaf, bug-bitten in a heart,
a deep, silken life.

we see it coming all day,
waiting with sparrows.

A morning sky with broken apart clouds often referred to as a mackerel sky because of its resemblance to fish scales.

The sky this morning—
no poems or sunrise yet,
and stars, still in us.

Haiku-a-day
Thistle blooms and goes to seed in clouds as a bird feeds and the sun shines in a field in July.

The field is waist deep,
taller than me in some places,
rabbits in darkness.
