Maiden, mother, crone

roses reflect the seasons

of this fruitful life.

Amaryllis blooms

an unexpected prize to

dazzle snow blind eyes.

Haiku

Today we renounced

 

Winter by cooking burgers

 

on the charcoal grill.

 

Haiku

 

 

Amaryllis stare

 

wistfully at the Winter.

 

Do they dream of Spring?

Crossing the river

 

recalls childhood leaf races

 

at the old footbridge.

The snow melts outside

 

while inside butter melts for

 

spanakopita.

Polar Vortex Haiku

cold enough to make

folding fresh laundry more a

pleasure than a chore

I smell the butter.

 

Biscuits bake while the wind whines

 

for crumbs at my door.

How cold is it? Cold

enough to freeze your snowglobe!

No, literally!

haiku (for Marley Rain)

 

Anxious as I am

 

to see you blossom, the world

 

is too cold a place.

Seeds helicopter

 

down from the maple trees, toys

 

for the playful wind.

Sunlight sparkles in

 

May Day blossoms, fluttering

 

their hello to Spring.

haiku

 

Cherry blossom snow

 

is a sure sign of Spring and

 

there's no shoveling.

 

 

haiku (with Jay)

 

gray subway masses,

 

all alone together, just

 

trying to get home

Mothering my lone

 

daffodil bud, I bundle

 

it up on cold nights.
