rain this morning
magnificent afternoon clouds
changeable weather

children
play summer games--
scattered stones

Canadian geese
rest in the shade of the afternoon:
oak trees

calligraphy
of summer breezes:
mystic touch

air
colors the summer:
sea escapes

even the birds
sang morning songs in a rush:
dodging raindrops

a three day rain
greens up the neighborhood
sterling bright

morning glories
close tight-fisted
summer afternoon

fields
of daisies bloom mid-summer
road islands

too far North
for a lemon tree
Watkin's lotion

neighbor's dog
catches frisbee mid-air
a summer acrobat

outdoor concerts
free at Troy community complex
summer magic

a young buck
still with velvet antlers
summer at Melvin's

quiet nights
dance through the leaves
young lovers

beach combing
shells, driftwood, rocks, coloured glass
many treasures

a call
from a friend
enlightenment

ladybug
travels over walk-way
fly! fly!

laughter
of 24-year-old son
approaching thunder

fireworks
on the 4th of July
the Great Lakes

Mama Cat
afraid of summer storms
kitten trauma?

half-price
sale of annual flats
summer solstice

morning brings
the mourning dove's song
summer harmony

clouds
gather into mountains
summer dreams

recycled
haiku notepaper
green earth

raindrops
clean our mailbox--
bird droppings

children's laughter
echoes late in the evening
sumer solstice

old-fashioned
roses bloom along Ryan road
blood-red beauties

dust devils
of cottonwood fluff
swirling summer

cats
move between lines--
haiku

rain drops
on everyone;
pure or not

snowdrop
on chest of black cat
coat n'tie

pond
near summer's edge--
muddy waters

cat haiku
sits by itself;
whiskers

bent
into seconds--
racing time

old-fashioned
valentines cut from hearts
missing Mary

a place
always in our hearts--
Mary

four golden
orbs shine unearthly;
rival moon

twin black
cats at midnight
invisible

day
of music--
peace

field
of purple blossoms
side yard
