moonless sky. . .

the baby

left the womb

a little too early

to have a name

Ribbons spring/ summer issue

melting snow

down the peaks . . .

father peeps

into our study

with half shaved face'

Swishing

the mouthwash

this morning

the bamboo at the window

slightly taller

Time Haiku #48

a sudden tinkle

in the wind chimes

I tell her

yet another time

all will be fine

Time Haiku #48

moonlight

through the blinds

of an eerie house . . .

in the basket, a potato

with a growing eye
