my breath

taking off
my hat…

trees budding…
a cardinal
to itself

on the window

cupped
in quince blossoms

a burst
of sparrows

trying to fit the ocean
into my camera
“copper-tinged waves” is an 8x10 mixed media collage. It's the March art for my 2026 Makino Studios calendar, and there is a greeting card version reading, “take heart.” The #haiku was first published in Kingfisher.

rain shadows
down the wall

a dog sees
me

my breath
in the light

February mud…
the long way
around

snowmelt…
too bright
for winter eyes

a thread
of sparrow song

snowmelt…
the smell of earth
in the air

#haiku
the fly
chooses
to walk
