Autumn falls on us


The first frost glistened
On still green leaves this morning
Farewell, sweet summer

The triumphant return of the summer haiku



tan lines on my feet
hummingbirds at the feeder
summer is perfect

When all else fails, compose a haiku

Planted rosebushes,
lavender, and pansies while
the birds sang for me

In the stillness of the winter






Remnants of summer
Wearing crystals as a crown
Still regal and proud

Misty September Sunrise

the honking of geese
floats over the morning mist
farewell before flight

Another touch of gold at the end of the summer

a glass of chablis
catching the last beams of light
summer meets autumn

This type of partying needs to go out of style

After the ball drops
Forty-two tons of garbage
Remain on Times Square

The same old, same old
Foolish, selfish "reverie"
Choking Mother Earth

I'm sure there were no vampires in this town, either!

Brussels sprouts, oh brussels sprouts!
Magical, but not a fruit,
Makes Gorillas Toot!

Sorry, said the zoo.
Embarrassed, and unprepared
For a smell that strong.

Living the dream



The Mister told me
It was his dream to snowblow
In a Santa hat

Who am I to stand
Between the love of my life
And his lifelong dream?

To every thing there is a season



Thousands of snow geese
Fill the gray December skies
Just for a moment

From the ridiculous to the sublime




The snows of the past
Give way to a ghostly mist
In the new day's light

Dude, where's my car?



Dear Mother Nature
'Twas neither funny nor cute
This full foot of snow

My muscles, they scream
After an eternity
Of shovelling it

It's Haiku Time Again!

Oh, Guv'ner Spitzer!
How is life in that glass house?
You are such a putz.

Dear Missus Spitzer
Get thee to a nail salon
Sharp nails make the point

Icy morning, and a haiku for Heidi





Ice on the window
The cafe is still open
For my little birds
