Two Haiku

No branch swayed, no leaf

stirred as the earth held its breath

this warm spring morning

Pulling back the night,

the birds sang the moon toward home

bringing forth the sun

Winter Ways

Winter woes remain.

Though spring has come, so has

icy rain and snow.

What? Those snow flurries

failed to close the schools this time?

– a winter wonder.

Winter wind blows cold,

chases the warmth away, leaves

behind these poems.

JDG

As thunder grumbles

five women silently write

Day creeps toward night

Summer rain pounds down

Evening darkness edges in

What becomes of them

Summer morning light

Young deer lies, stilled, eyes catching mine

Cars pass on hard road
