saturday haiku

A couple of stray poetic thoughts…

[insert photo of chickadee here] Which I would do if I had tagged my photos better. Working on it. Come back next year.


There are no chickadees in this photo. Somewhere on the Olympic Peninsula, WA. April 1998.

Chickadee mind grabs 
seed, drops it: 'Get another!'
Lather, rinse, repeat.

Born as unblemished 
marble; Life's chisel reveals
us to everyone.

4×4

a haiku for modern drivers. I wish I had a photo

Tough white four-by-four
jacked up, one ton, approaches
speed bump: slow to ten!

A haiku today, the second of slight illness (on top of all the parts of me which don’t seem to want to work right). It’s OK. I think it just started raining, and I know I’ll mostly be just chillin’ tomorrow when my wife has one of those procedures all of us old people get….

Benny on lap. April 2023.
