Deer see me standing
Wondering why I am here
Disturbing breakfast

Ship shapes, silver wakes,
Gold eyes dot the distant seas.
Sunset salmon spring.

late April evening
sunset ignites the mountain
eye witness again

early morning sun
shadow of a hummingbird
on the bamboo shade

Vast colorful skies
The earth's warning of the night
Sunsets are precious

Push the envelope
Push it as far as you can
Still stationary.

bunches of lilac
in my gathering basket
still the honeybee!

The Day of Exile
when neighbors were also friends
we miss them dearly

Pink outstretched arms
uplift a heavy winter heart.
Spring blossoms.

Here, the Sasquatch stalks
Its giant shadow silent
Its breath creeps like fog

Chicken crossed to side
Knock Knock, who is at my door
It is me chicken

Skates swerve across ice
Crisp snow blankets piny trees
Winter has arrived

Haiku curlicue
Swiftly swirling swimming songs
Eddies smooching shore

The water is blue
The blue is as still as stone
The stone all scattered

Jellyfish. Moon. Star.
Seal. Salish. Dead and living.
Heron. Wave. In. Out.

strawberry season
I'm trying for the first time
my mom's red lipstick

cherry trees in bloom
still looking for the right words
for a good poem

Brown Hayes blots the view
Smog covers the whole horizon
Solutions are green

smell of fresh-cut grass
all the carousel horses
run in slow motion

in the afternoon
my grandmother's strawberries
flaunt their progeny
