haiku 4/19/13

unlikely spring heat
temporarily cooled off
by April showers

senryu 4/18/13

you entered my heart
like an effortless burglar--
took it for your own

senryu 4/17/13

in a silent house
immobile in a blue chair
i feel time flow past

senryu 4/16/13

as the weather warms
and "the sap begins to rise"--
middle school goes nuts

senryu 4/15/13

pecking a steel plate,
a woodpecker won't get far--
i try to teach class

senryu 4/14/13

alone in the dark
body clothed, but soul naked--
my eyes fill with tears

senryu 4/13/13

i wait for the poem
in the early morning hour--
dawn comes again soon

senryu 4/12/13

during stormy times
i always find in your arms
my safe, calm harbor

senryu 4/11/13

at night, i reach out
my hand groping to find you--
so i'll know all's well

cherita 4/10/13

another sleepless night

as the stars dance overhead
and the wind whoops it up outside my window

snug in bed
under the covers
i read another book
