Magic Feather

Magic feather joins

Collection of shells and acorns

Little boy smiles

White feather completes
Little boy's pocket treasures

Spreading happiness

Crocus

under the leaf mulch

green shoots raise their heads

first heralds of spring

Leaf gently swaying

leaf gently swaying

caterpillar chewing stalk

too soon both will fly

Looking Back

beneath uncut grass

abandon tricycle rusts

childhood long vanished

underneath the boughs

forgotten tree house decays

remnant of passage

Haiku 2011

cold gray atmosphere

freezing sleet covering all

hopes of a snow day
