2009 HAIKU

cranes and trains
evening quiet broken
bayou bonfouca









bayou bonfouka
standing still
high tide


pennies
crossing the hood
joggers


dogs cower
under the bed
new years rockets



stuck inside, sick
the revelry goes on
fat tuesday




in the company
of crows-
left wing politics




impatient flowers
brighten the day--
gray sky



low moon
reflecting off the snow
golden yellow


narrow road
to the far left-
politics


Willow leaves dance
in the winter chill—
warm memories persist


full Moon
looking bigger than usual-
perigee moon


white roses
finally fade
winter chill


turning the page
rose petals pressed tight
library book


words leap
into the new year
twenty o nine


leap second--
one second added
last year
(2008)
