Thank you! We certainly have our share around here. I have to watch out on my runs….they’re quite crotchety! 😄

Thanks so much, Maria! 😊💛

A crossed pair of sneaker-clad feet relaxing on a felled tree in a yellow wood.

the press
of the wood
against my back—

I think of Odysseus
tied to his mast

but all I hear
is peace

gap in the thorn hedge
the blue of a storm cloud
ripens into sloes

😁

the other side
of a skylark's song
this broken world

A Canadian goose soars beneath a nearly full moon with its wings on the downbeat.

The Canadian goose is my nominee for #underrated #BirdOfTheDay.

Ubiqitous, sure. A little annoying—at times. But if Mary Oliver writes an immortal poem about you, I'm going to listen to what you have to say.

Thank you 💙

Thank you!

in the whole
of the universe
your pale blue eyes

I can hear it. 🍂

Wonderful, Kathleen. 🧡

a muddy barnyard
carried on the wind

low sun~
a pear glows
in the grass

November
raises
her hood
and waits

decay is
the dance card
she holds
in her hand

Thanks, Maria! I miss those days. Happy Halloween! 🧡

all down the thorn hedge
tracing the curve of the wind
the arc of a finch

A neighborhood trick-or-treating scene with a small Hermione and a pint-sized Captain America and a mom with a camera, loving it all.

you know
that you'll miss it
but it seems so far away

and then one day
you're living in someday

and oh, what a trickster—
time

Happy Halloween! This one's from 2012 (Obama signs!). I loved taking our kids trick-or-treating. I hope all of you with little ones have a wonderful time tonight!

autumn fog~
someone far
whistling

I’m so sorry, Amy.

built as a wall
to enclose
or exclude
it brings in
the whole wild sea

Thank you, dear Kris! And a good morning to you. 💛

persimmons
under snow~
silent village

#haiku

a curtain of rain
all day
and night

it opens
and shuts

my ears
look out

When you come at the world with nothing but defensiveness, you see enemies all around.

half of the moon’s face
shines from our sunken footprints
across the low field

spring sunset
I uproot a tiny pine
from the tulip bed

#haiku #haiga

caring far less
than i should
winter’s withered field
