Selected Published Haiku
a dragonfly
on my doorknob—
locking me out
walking the dog—
two old friends
and a pup cup
chickweed
one pink petal--
patch of broken cement
morning chill--
fog drifting
among ghost flowers
under a shroud
of fresh snow--
a garden bench waits
rough day
my neighbor shares
pilaf and kebabs
on the bed
ratty bear--
one ear missing
sunbeam
on her hand—
a map of years
Sakura Haiku Anthology
toddler squealing--
fists full
of petals
Shadow Pond Journal VII
golden leaf--
crumbling
in my fingers
Wales Haiku Journal Summer '26
cocoon opening—
first-graders
motionless
Echidna Tracks #17
tea with friends--
mismatched cups
and saucers
