the old pond —
another haiku missing
in action
April 2013
in the spotlight
hiding behind the tears
of a clown
moonstruck —
the lady of the lake
raises a sword
sandflies,
come make of my arm
your zoo
autumn rain . . .
a cypress susurrates
white sound
starlit path . . .
a poinsettia brims
its sacrifice
lover's leap —
the princess falls
for a frog
sickle moon —
a cat plays cat and mouse
with a mouse
first light —
the universe shaping up
within her eyes
star-struck
Maui takes his cue
from a worm
defining limits
Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta
without godwits
emptiness —
love drains the cup's
last drops
washerwoman —
in death her wrinkles
ironed away
