Every life has its stories…these are in Haiku.

Pinecone

Sappy symmetry,
full of possibility.
New life waits within.

Spring

A slow arrival,
as winter looms. But
Father Time has other plans.

Autumn Arrival

It starts as a slow
burn. Then golden hues erupt.
Yellow fire burns.

Old Man Winter

Again he blows, not
long after his last fury.
Just playing games now.

BirdsBirds of a different
feather flock together too.
Find your flock and fly.

Courage

It sneaks in, doesn’t
knock. To keep self-doubt at bay,
fight the good fight.

Generations Untold

This rock has many
stories, yet it does not speak.
It’s in the lichen.

Striation Nation

Father time teams with
wind and water, creating
formations on high.

A Backpacker’s Haiku

Peering through the groves,
watchful eyes keep the secrets
of all those who’ve passed.

Creepy cormorants 
perch in dead trees. Black water,
still. What lurks beneath?
