throwing shade
the parasol vendor
farmer's market —
a stray dog shops
for kindness
Lady of the Lake
disappearing
in the mist
autumn leaves too soon
crocuses
wondering where the chipmunks
have planted them this year
isolation
the snow-capped mountain
of the soul
missing the train
my apple cider donut
apologizes
#HaikuNuggets (donut)
hotel receptionist
the monotonous din
of his oxygen tank
between dark clouds
the majestic wings
of a turkey vulture
waning crescent moon —
somehow I thought
I'd be happier
early October
I put away
my Red Sox hat
Hollygrove —
wildflowers blooming
in a broken banjo
heady moment —
somebody shouts
"this one is on the house"
autumn fog —
how much coffee will it take
to make it through?
footprints in the snow
the dog's determination
to investigate
playoff night —
I put away
my book
clutching pearls
the oysterman's wife
in a hotel conference room
the looming presence
of the quilting club
coastal shipwreck
its new life
as a coral reef
approaching storm —
all of the things
I haven't done
