Struggling with words,
trying to fashion them into
a senryu. They refuse.

All Shook Up
Sometimes we search for
an answer to a question
not yet clearly formed
and then fret and fume because
we get a garbled reply.

More Than Enough
Just as too much light
on rain-soaked roads can make it
hard to see, too much
thought can divert heart’s mission
as we walk grief’s sodden path.

The Tumultuous Life Of Trees
Just last week they were
decked out in golden garb,
but now their bare limbs
shiver as fall fades into
the cold and dark of winter.

A Cup Of Contentment
Cloud of frothed milk atop morning coffee –
simple pleasure –
I’m off to
a good
start.

Blessed Detour
Circumstances forced
her to take an unchosen
path where she found what
she wasn’t looking for and
discovered it was herself.

The Face Of Fall
Autumn’s complexion,
even though ruddy and rough,
has a golden glow.
