provides a cadence to life
unseen in the brook

middle of the night
old sleeping cat rolls off bed
awakens sleepers

Sitting in glider
Boy’s head heavy on shoulder
Nothing I would change
My adorable sister-in-law tweeted me this beautiful haiku today and it is with her permission that I share it here with you!

the hood of the car
unabated heat rises
sticky July day

Used to…..
Used to not be afraid
Used to teach Gifted and Talented
Used to live in the South
Used to smoke
Used to be afraid of the blue oval rug in my room, because Jaws lived there
Used to think I’d grow up to be taller
Used to be unscathed
Used to be physically strong and mentally weak
Used to love those people in the past
Used to think I’d grow up and have it all together
Used to not understand love
Used to think I had all the answers
Used to float through life
Used to…..

white moth’s infatuation
with light fades in day

across the driveway
a crow stops to peck apples
lazy summer day
